After recalling some basic notions in Analytic Group Theory, I
will discuss a possible approach to the problem of determining whether
two properties which represent a weak form of hyperbolicity, namely the
(AO)-property and bi-exactness, coincide. I will also explain how the
techniques involved can be used in order to study certain analytic
properties of SL(3,Z) (joint with F. Radulescu). I will focus on the
role of measurable dynamics and proximality arguments in this context.
