Amenable Actions of Amalgamated Free Products
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that the amalgamated free product of two free groups of rank two over a common cyclic subgroup, admits an amenable, faithful, transitive action on an infinite countable set. We also show that any finite index subgroup admits such an action, which applies for example to surface groups and fundamental groups of surface bundles over S.

متن کاملAmalgamated Free Product over Cartan Subalgebra
Amalgamated free products of von Neumann algebras were first used by S. Popa ([26]) to construct an irreducible inclusion of (non-AFD) type II1 factors with an arbitrary (admissible) Jones index. Further investigation in this direction was made by K. Dykema ([10]) and F. Rădulescu ([27, 29]) based on Voiculescu’s powerful machine ([40, 41, 44]), and F. Boca ([4]) discussed the Haagerup approxim...
متن کاملExactness of Reduced Amalgamated Free Product C {algebras
Some completely positive maps on reduced amalgamated free products of C∗–algebras are constructed, showing that every reduced amalgamated free product of exact C∗–algebras is exact. Consequently, every amalgamated free product of exact discrete groups is exact.
متن کاملFree Entropy Dimension in Amalgamated Free Products
We calculate the microstates free entropy dimension of natural generators in an amalgamated free product of certain von Neumann algebras, with amalgamation over a hyperfinite subalgebra. In particular, some ‘exotic’ Popa algebra generators of free group factors are shown to have the expected free entropy dimension. We also show that microstates and non–microstates free entropy dimension agree f...
متن کاملNon-properness of Amenable Actions on Graphs with Infinitely Many Ends
We study amenable actions on graphs having infinitely many ends, giving a generalized answer to Ceccherini’s question on groups with infinitely many ends. 1 Statement of the result An action of a group G on a set X is amenable if there exists a G-invariant mean on X, i.e. a map μ : 2 = P(X)→ [0, 1] such that μ(X) = 1, μ(A∪B) = μ(A)+μ(B), for every disjoint subsets A, B ⊆ X, and μ(gA) = μ(A), ∀g...
