Amenable Actions, Free Products and a Fixed Point Property
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the class of groups admitting an action on a set with an invariant mean. It turns out that many free products admit interesting actions of that kind. A complete characterization of such free products is given in terms of a fixed point property.

On Co-amenability for Groups and Von Neumann Algebras
We first show that co-amenability does not pass to subgroups, answering a question asked by Eymard in 1972. We then address address coamenability for von Neumann algebras, describing notably how it relates to the former. Co-amenable subgroups A subgroup H of a group G is called co-amenable in G if it has the following relative fixed point property: Every continuous affine G-action on a convex c...
متن کاملOn Cocycle Actions of Non-commutative Bernoulli Shifts
In this paper we investigate the cocycle actions of non-commutative Bernoulli shifts for a countable discrete group G on the AFD II1-factor N = ⊗g∈GMn(C) or ⊗g∈GR, where R is the AFD II1-factor. We show that if G contains some non-amenable exact group, then the fixed point algebra of any its cocycle action is always atomic. We also give another proof of Popa’s cocycle vanishing theorem [15] in ...
متن کاملInvariant Measures for Algebraic Actions, Zariski Dense Subgroups and Kazhdan’s Property (t )
Let k be any locally compact non-discrete field. We show that finite invariant measures for k-algebraic actions are obtained only via actions of compact groups. This extends both Borel’s density and fixed point theorems over local fields (for semisimple/solvable groups, resp.). We then prove that for k-algebraic actions, finitely additive finite invariant measures are obtained only via actions ...
متن کاملD ec 2 00 6 PROPERTY ( T ) AND RIGIDITY FOR ACTIONS ON BANACH SPACES
We study property (T) and the fixed point property for actions on L p and other Banach spaces. We show that property (T) holds when L 2 is replaced by L p (and even a subspace/quotient of L p), and that in fact it is independent of 1 ≤ p < ∞. We show that the fixed point property for L p follows from property (T) when 1 < p < 2 + ε. For simple Lie groups and their lattices, we prove that the fi...

Recall that two ergodic probability measure preserving (p.m.p.) actions σi for i = 1, 2 of two countable groups Γi on probability measure standard Borel spaces (Xi, μi) are orbit equivalent (OE) if they define partitions of the spaces into orbits that are isomorphic, more precisely, if there exists a measurable, almost everywhere defined isomorphism f : X1 → X2 such that f∗μ1 = μ2 and the Γ1-or...
