متن کاملRemarks on Actions on Compacta by Some Infinite-dimensional Groups
We discuss some techniques related to equivariant compactifications of uniform spaces and amenability of topological groups. In particular, we give a new proof of a recent result by Glasner and Weiss describing the universal minimal flow of the infinite symmetric group S∞ with the standard Polish topology, and extend Bekka’s concept of an amenable representation, enabling one to deduce non-amen...
متن کاملAbelian topological groups without irreducible Banach representations
We exhibit abelian topological groups admitting no nontrivial strongly continuous irreducible representations in Banach spaces. Among them are some abelian Banach–Lie groups and some monothetic subgroups of the unitary group of a separable Hilbert space.
متن کاملRamsey–milman Phenomenon, Urysohn Metric Spaces, and Extremely Amenable Groups
In this paper we further study links between concentration of measure in topological transformation groups, existence of fixed points, and Ramsey-type theorems for metric spaces. We prove that whenever the group Iso (U) of isometries of Urysohn’s universal complete separable metric space U, equipped with the compact-open topology, acts upon an arbitrary compact space, it has a fixed point. The ...
متن کاملOn Some Questions of Eymard and Bekka about Amenability of Homogeneous Spaces and Induced Representations
Let F ⊆ H ⊆ G be closed subgroups of a locally compact group. In response to a 1972 question by Eymard, we construct an example where the homogeneous factor-space G/F is amenable in the sense of Eymard–Greenleaf, while H/F is not. (In our example, G is discrete.) As a corollary which answers a 1990 question by Bekka, the induced representation indGH(ρ) can be amenable in the sense of Bekka even...
