Groups without property (T) but all finite quotients are expanders

I think your condition (4) is called "property ($\tau$)". (See Theorem 4.3.2 of Lubotzky's very nice book "Discrete Groups, Expanding Graphs and Invariant Measures".) An example is $G = \mathrm{SL}_2\bigl(\mathbb{Z}[1/p] \bigr)$. (See Example 4.3.3E on page 52 of Lubotzky's book.)


A bit late, but let me draw your attention to my first paper:

http://arxiv.org/abs/1005.4566

It shows that property (T) is not determined by the finite quotients, and gives in particular an answer to your question.


Later edit -- Yves' comment calls for more details:

The aim of the above mentioned note is to show that property (T) is not profinite, that is, it is not determined by the set of the finite quotient of the group (a nice exercise is to show that considering the set of isomorphism classes of finite quotient or considering the set of finite quotients counting multiplicity amount to the same - so there is no ambiguity in the above definition). For finitely generated groups, having the same set finite quotients is equivalent to having the same profinite completion.

Now I can explain the simple idea behind the construction. The Congruence subgroup Property (CSP) essentially transforms this problem into a local-to-global problem:

Essentially, under CSP, the profinite completion of $G(\mathbb Z)$ is $$\widehat{G(\mathbb Z)}=\prod_p G(\mathbb Z_p).$$

So in order to have two groups with the same profinite completion we look for two groups $G_1(\mathbb Z)$ and $G_2(\mathbb Z)$ (with CSP) such that they are isomorphic locally. If, moreover, we can arrange that $G_1(\mathbb Z)$ (resp. $G_2(\mathbb Z)$) is a lattice in a product of rank 1 (resp. high rank $\geq 2$) groups, we win, as this should imply that the first does not have $(T)$ while the second has $(T)$.

From this, one is led to the construction naturally. One uses the fact that the quadratic forms $$\sum^n x_i^2-\sum^m y_i^2,\quad \sum^{n-4} x_i^2-\sum^{m+4} y_i^2$$ agrees everywhere locally, but not globally. This leads to the Spin groups construction that appear in Yves' comments.

Another sentence of advertising: This construction is one of three types of constructions that I consider in a different paper, in order to show that the set of isomorphism classes of arithmetic groups in high rank which have the same profinite completion is finite.
