Abstract
Let A be a locally compact abelian group, and H a locally compact group acting on A. Let G=H⋉A be the semidirect product, assumed σ-compact. We prove that the pair (G,A) has Kazhdan's property T if and only if the only countably approximable H-invariant mean on the Borel subsets of the Pontryagin dual Â, supported at the neighbourhood of the trivial character, is the Dirac measure.
