Amenable Actions and Almost Invariant Sets

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...

Characterizations of amenable hypergroups

Let $K$ be a locally compact hypergroup with left Haar measure and let $L^1(K)$ be the complex Lebesgue space associated with it. Let $L^infty(K)$ be the dual of $L^1(K)$. The purpose of this paper is to present some necessary and sufficient conditions for $L^infty(K)^*$ to have a topologically left invariant mean. Some characterizations of amenable hypergroups are given.

A CHARACTERIZATION OF EXTREMELY AMENABLE SEMIGROUPS

Let S be a discrete semigroup, m (S) the space of all bounded real functions on S with the usualsupremum norm. Let Acm (S) be a uniformly closed left invariant subalgebra of m (S) with 1 c A. We say that A is extremely left amenable if there isamultiplicative left invariant meanon A. Let P = {h ?A: h =|g-1,g | forsome g ?A, s ?S}. It isshown that . A is extremely left amenable if and only ...

Hilbert C-modules and Amenable Actions

We study actions of discrete groups on Hilbert C-modules induced from topological actions on compact Hausdorff spaces. We prove that amenable actions give rise to proper affine isometric actions, provided there is a quasiinvariant measure which is sufficiently close to being invariant in a certain sense. This provides conditions on non-amenability of actions. The notion of amenability of group ...
