Sofic equivalence relations

چکیده
We introduce the notion of sofic measurable equivalence relations. Using them we prove that Connes’ Embedding Conjecture as well as the Measurable Determinant Conjecture of Lück, Sauer and Wegner hold for treeable equivalence relations.

A new algebraic invariant for weak equivalence of sofic subshifts
It is studied how taking the inverse image by a sliding block code affects the syntactic semigroup of a sofic subshift. Two independent approaches are used: ζ-semigroups as recognition structures for sofic subshifts, and relatively free profinite semigroups. A new algebraic invariant is obtained for weak equivalence of sofic subshifts, by determining which classes of sofic subshifts naturally d...
متن کاملThe Syntactic Graph of a Sofic Shift Is Invariant under Shift Equivalence
We define a new invariant for shift equivalence of sofic shifts. This invariant, that we call the syntactic graph of a sofic shift, is the directed acyclic graph of characteristic groups of the non null regular D-classes of the syntactic semigroup of the shift.
متن کاملOn Flow Equivalence of Sofic Shifts
The flow equivalence of sofic shifts is examined using results about the structure of the corresponding covers. A canonical cover generalising the left Fischer cover to arbitrary sofic shifts is introduced and used to prove that the left Krieger cover and the past set cover of a sofic shift can be divided into natural layers. These results are used to find the range of a flow invariant and to i...
متن کاملUltraproducts of measure preserving actions and graph combinatorics
Ultraproducts of measure preserving actions of countable groups are used to study the graph combinatorics associated with such actions, including chromatic, independence and matching numbers. Applications are also given to the theory of random colorings of Cayley graphs and sofic actions and equivalence relations.
متن کاملFull Groups and Soficity
First, we answer a question of Pestov, by proving that the full group of a sofic equivalence relation is a sofic group. Then, we give a short proof of the theorem of Grigorchuk and Medynets that the topological full group of a minimal Cantor homeomorphism is LEF. Finally, we show that for certain non-amenable groups all the generalized lamplighter groups are sofic.
