Amenable actions and applications
We will give a brief account of (topological) amenable actions and exactness for countable discrete groups. The class of exact groups contains most of the familiar groups and yet is manageable enough to provide interesting applications in geometric topology, von Neumann algebras and ergodic theory.

متن کاملAmenable Actions and Exactness for Discrete Groups
It is proved that a discrete group G is exact if and only if its left translation action on the Stone-Čech compactification is amenable. Combining this with an unpublished result of Gromov, we have the existence of non exact discrete groups. In [KW], Kirchberg and Wassermann discussed exactness for groups. A discrete group G is said to be exact if its reduced group C-algebra C λ(G) is exact. Th...
متن کاملEntropy and mixing for amenable group actions
For Γ a countable amenable group consider those actions of Γ as measurepreserving transformations of a standard probability space, written as {Tγ}γ∈Γ acting on (X,F , μ). We say {Tγ}γ∈Γ has completely positive entropy (or simply cpe for short) if for any finite and nontrivial partition P of X the entropy h(T, P ) is not zero. Our goal is to demonstrate what is well known for actions of Z and ev...
متن کاملModular Actions and Amenable Representations
Consider a measure-preserving action Γ y (X,μ) of a countable group Γ and a measurable cocycle α : X × Γ → Aut(Y ) with countable image, where (X,μ) is a standard Lebesgue space and (Y, ν) is any probability space. We prove that if the Koopman representation associated to the action Γ y X is non-amenable, then there does not exist a countable-to-one Borel homomorphism from the orbit equivalence...
متن کاملFølner Tilings for Actions of Amenable Groups
We show that every probability-measure-preserving action of a countable amenable group G can be tiled, modulo a null set, using finitely many finite subsets of G (“shapes”) with prescribed approximate invariance so that the collection of tiling centers for each shape is Borel. This is a dynamical version of the Downarowicz–Huczek– Zhang tiling theorem for countable amenable groups and strengthe...
