An exotic group as limit of finite special linear groups
[Un groupe exotique comme limite de groupes linéaires spéciaux finis]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 68 (2018) no. 1, pp. 257-273.

Nous étudions un groupe polonais obtenu comme complétion de la limite inductive de groupes linéaires spéciaux finis munis de la distance induite par le rang. Ce groupe polonais est topologiquement simple modulo son centre, extrêmement moyennable et n’a pas de représentations fortement continues non triviales sur un espace de Hilbert.

We consider the Polish group obtained as the rank-completion of an inductive limit of finite special linear groups. This Polish group is topologically simple modulo its center, it is extremely amenable and has no non-trivial strongly continuous unitary representation on a Hilbert space.
