Equivalence Relations Invariant under Group Actions
نویسنده
چکیده
We study, in an abstract context, equivalence relations which are invariant under group actions. More precisely, we fix a transformation group, and we study the orbital equivalence relations (i.e. orbit equivalence relations of normal subgroups) and a wider class of weakly orbital equivalence relations. For these sorts of relations we show (under some additional assumptions) that if each class is well-behaved, then so is the class space and the relation as a whole (where well-behaved means type-definable or closed for the classes and the relation and Hausdorff for the class space). We apply these conclusions in model theory to generalise a recent result tying type-definability and smoothness of invariant equivalence relations. We also obtain analogous results for typedefinable actions (in model theory), as well as continuous actions of compact groups, or, more generally, proper group actions.

Signature submanifolds for some equivalence problems
This article concerned on the study of signature submanifolds for curves under Lie group actions SE(2), SA(2) and for surfaces under SE(3). Signature submanifold is a regular submanifold which its coordinate components are differential invariants of an associated manifold under Lie group action, and therefore signature submanifold is a key for solving equivalence problems.
متن کاملFUZZY SUBGROUPS AND CERTAIN EQUIVALENCE RELATIONS
In this paper, we study an equivalence relation on the set of fuzzysubgroups of an arbitrary group G and give four equivalent conditions each ofwhich characterizes this relation. We demonstrate that with this equivalencerelation each equivalence class constitutes a lattice under the ordering of fuzzy setinclusion. Moreover, we study the behavior of these equivalence classes under theaction of a...
متن کاملIncomparable Actions of Free Groups
Suppose that X is a standard Borel space, E is a countable Borel equivalence relation on X, and μ is an E-invariant Borel probability measure on X. We consider the circumstances under which for every countable non-abelian free group Γ, there is a Borel sequence (·r)r∈R of free actions of Γ on X, generating subequivalence relations Er of E with respect to which μ is ergodic, with the further pro...
متن کاملBasis Problem for Turbulent Actions
We use modiied Tsirelson's spaces 3] to prove that there is no nite basis for turbulent Polish group actions. This answers a question of 1. Introduction One of the trends in Descriptive Set Theory during the last decade or so concerns the study of classiiability of Borel equivalence relations. Particularly well-studied are the orbit equivalence relations of Polish group actions (see 7, 10, 11, ...
متن کاملCountable abelian group actions and hyperfinite equivalence relations
An equivalence relation E on a standard Borel space is hyperfinite if E is the increasing union of countably many Borel equivalence relations En where all En-equivalence classs are finite. In this article we establish the following theorem: if a countable abelian group acts on a standard Borel space in a Borel manner then the orbit equivalence relation is hyperfinite. The proof uses constructio...
