Weakly Amenable Groups
In the present paper we construct the first examples of finitely generated non–amenable groups whose left regular representations are not uniformly isolated from the trivial representation.
متن کاملMixing Actions of Countable Groups Are Almost Free
A measure preserving action of a countably in nite group Γ is called totally ergodic if every in nite subgroup of Γ acts ergodically. For example, all mixing and mildly mixing actions are totally ergodic. This note shows that if an action of Γ is totally ergodic then there exists a nite normal subgroup N of Γ such that the stabilizer of almost every point is equal to N. Surprisingly the proof r...
متن کاملCountable Extensions of Torsion Abelian Groups
Suppose A is an abelian torsion group with a subgroup G such that A/G is countable that is, in other words, A is a torsion countable abelian extension of G. A problem of some group-theoretic interest is that of whether G ∈ K, a class of abelian groups, does imply that A ∈ K. The aim of the present paper is to settle the question for certain kinds of groups, thus extending a classical result due...
متن کاملOn growth of homology torsion in amenable groups
Suppose an amenable group G is acting freely on a simply connected simplicial complex X̃ with compact quotient X. Fix n ≥ 1, assume Hn(X̃,Z) = 0 and let (Hi) be a Farber chain in G. We prove that the torsion of the integral homology in dimension n of X̃/Hi grows subexponentially in [G : Hi]. This fails if X is not compact. We provide the first examples of amenable groups for which torsion in homol...
متن کاملThe Entropy of Algebraic Actions of Countable Torsion-free Abelian Groups
This paper is concerned with the entropy of an action of a countable torsion-free abelian group G by continuous automorphisms of a compact abelian group X. A formula is obtained that expresses the entropy in terms of the Mahler measure of a greatest common divisor, complementing earlier work by Einsiedler, Lind, Schmidt and Ward. This leads to a uniform method for calculating entropy whenever G...
