We prove that a metric space does not coarsely embed into a Hilbert space if and only if it satisfies a sequence of Poincaré inequalities, which can be formulated in terms of (generalized) expanders. We also give quantitative statements, relative to the compression. In the equivariant context, our result says that a group does not have the Haagerup Property if and only if it has relative property T with respect to a family of probabilities whose supports go to infinity. We give versions of this result both in terms of unitary representations, and in terms of affine isometric actions on Hilbert spaces.

Let $G$ and $H$ be locally compact groups. Assume that $G$ acts on a standard probability space $(S,\mu)$, $\mu$ being $G$-invariant. We prove that if there exists a Borel cocycle $\alpha:S\times G\longrightarrow H$ which is proper in an appropriate sense, then $G$ inherits some approximation properties of $H$, for instance amenability or the so-called Haagerup Approximation Property. On the other hand, if $G_{0}$ is a closed subgroup of $G$, if the pair $(G,G_{0})$ has the relative property (T) of Margulis [19] and if either $H$ has Haagerup Approximation Property, or if it is the unitary group of a finite von Neumann algebra with a similar property, then we give rigidity results analogous to that in [23] and [1].

Let $H$ be a proper subgroup of a discrete group $G$. We introduce a notion of relative inner amenability of $H$ in $G$, we prove some equivalent conditions and provide examples coming mainly from semidirect products, as well as counter-examples. We also discuss the corresponding relative property gamma for pairs of type II$_1$ factors $N\subset M$ and we deduce from this a characterization of discrete, icc groups which do not have property (T).

For an arbitrary discrete probability-measure-preserving groupoid $G$, we provide a characterization of property (T) for $G$ in terms of the groupoid von Neumann algebra $L(G)$. More generally, we obtain a characterization of relative property (T) for a subgroupoid $H\subset G$ in terms of the inclusions $L(H)\subset L(G)$.

Relative Property (T) for a subgroup H of a group G and its connection with positive definite functions are studied. A relation with the Haagerup approximation property is established. We show that if H is a non-normal subgroup of a group G which has Property (T) and G/H is amenable as a graph then H has finite index in G.
