Property (T) and the Furstenberg Entropy of Nonsingular Actions

We establish a new characterization of property (T) in terms of the Furstenberg entropy of nonsingular actions. Given any generating measure $μ$ on a countable group $G$, A. Nevo showed that a necessary condition for $G$ to have property (T) is that the Furstenberg $μ$-entropy values of the ergodic, properly nonsingular $G$-actions are bounded away from zero. We show that this is also a sufficient condition.
