N-step energy of maps and fixed-point property of random groups

We prove that a random group of the graph model associated with a sequence of expanders has fixed-point property for a certain class of CAT(0) spaces. We use Gromov's criterion for fixed-point property in terms of the growth of n-step energy of equivariant maps from a finitely generated group into a CAT(0) space, to which we give a detailed proof. We estimate a relevant geometric invariant of the tangent cones of the Euclidean buildings associated with the groups PGL(m,Q_r), and deduce from the general result above that the same random group has fixed-point property for all of these Euclidean buildings with m bounded from above.
