SEMIGROUP ACTIONS , WEAK ALMOST PERIODICITY, AND INVARIANT MEANS
Let S be a topological semigroup acting on a topological space X. We develop the theory of (weakly) almost periodic functions on X, with respect to S, and form the (weakly) almost periodic compactifications of X and S, with respect to each other. We then consider the notion of an action of Son a Banach space, and on its dual, and after defining S-invariant means for such a space, we give a...
متن کاملGlobal Aspects of Ergodic Group Actions
The study of dynamical systems has its origins in the classical mechanics of Newton and his successors. That theory concerns the behavior of solutions of certain differential equations on manifolds. The modern theory has flourished in many directions that are best described by focusing on different features of the classical systems. For example, keeping only the topological structure led to the...
متن کاملThe Ergodic Theory of Free Group Actions: Entropy and the F -invariant
Previous work introduced two measure-conjugacy invariants: the f-invariant (for actions of free groups) and Σ-entropy (for actions of sofic groups). The purpose of this paper is to show that the f-invariant is essentially a special case of Σ-entropy. There are two applications: the f-invariant is invariant under group automorphisms and there is a uniform lower bound on the f-invariant of a fact...
متن کاملAmenable Actions, Invariant Means and Bounded Cohomology
We show that topological amenability of an action of a countable discrete group on a compact space is equivalent to the existence of an invariant mean for the action. We prove also that this is equivalent to vanishing of bounded cohomology for a class of Banach G-modules associated to the action, as well as to vanishing of a specific cohomology class. In the case when the compact space is a poi...
متن کاملEquivalence Relations Invariant under Group Actions
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 ...
