Topological Generators for Full Groups of Hyperfinite Pmp Equivalence Relations
نویسنده
چکیده
We give an elementary proof that there are two topological generators for the full group of every aperiodic hyperfinite probability measure preserving Borel equivalence relation. Our proof explicitly constructs topological generators for the orbit equivalence relation of the irrational rotation of the circle, and then appeals to Dye’s theorem and a Baire category argument to conclude the general case.

Topological properties of full groups
We study full groups of countable, measure-preserving equivalence relations. Our main results include that they are all homeomorphic to the separable Hilbert space and that every homomorphism from an ergodic full group to a separable group is continuous. We also find bounds for the minimal number of topological generators (elements generating a dense subgroup) of full groups allowing us to dist...
متن کاملLocally Nilpotent Groups and Hyperfinite Equivalence Relations
A long standing open problem in the theory of hyperfinite equivalence relations asks if the orbit equivalence relation generated by a Borel action of a countable amenable group is hyperfinite. In this paper we show that this question has a positive answer when the acting group is locally nilpotent. This extends previous results obtained by Gao–Jackson for abelian groups and by Jackson–Kechris–L...
متن کاملPresentations of Topological Full Groups by Generators and Relations
We describe generators and defining relations for the commutator subgroup of topological full groups of minimal subshifts. We show that the world problem in a topological full group is solvable if and only if the language of the underlying subshift is recursive.
متن کاملAF-equivalence relations and their cocycles
After a review of some the main results about hyperfinite equivalence relations and their cocycles in the measured setting, we give a definition of a topological AF equivalence relation. We show that every cocycle is cohomologous to a quasi-product cocycle. We then study the problem of determining the quasi-invariant probability measures admitting a given cocycle as their Radon-Nikodym derivative.
متن کاملAmenable Ergodic Actions , Hyperfinite Factors , and Poincaré Flows
1. Introduction. In this paper we announce the introduction of a new notion of amenability for ergodic group actions and ergodic equivalence relations. Amenable ergodic actions occupy a position in ergodic theory parallel to that of amenable groups in group theory and one can therefore expect this notion to be useful in diverse circumstances. Here we announce applications to hyperfinite factor ...
