Flexible stability and nonsoficity

Abstract

A sofic group G is said to be flexibly stable if every sofic approximation to G can converted to a sequence of disjoint unions of Schreier graphs by modifying an asymptotically vanishing proportion of edges. We establish that if PSLd(Z) is flexibly stable for some d ≥ 5 then there exists a group which is not sofic.
