A CHARACTERIZATION OF EXTREMELY AMENABLE SEMIGROUPS

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

Let S be a discrete semigroup, m (S) the space of all bounded real functions on S with the usualsupremum norm. Let Acm (S) be a uniformly closed left invariant subalgebra of m (S) with 1 c A. We say that A is extremely left amenable if there isamultiplicative left invariant meanon A. Let P = {h ?A: h =|g-1,g | forsome g ?A, s ?S}. It isshown that . A is extremely left amenable if and only if there is a mean ? on A such that ?(PA) = 0.

CHARACTERIZATIONS OF EXTREMELY AMENABLE FUNCTION ALGEBRAS ON A SEMIGROUP

Let S be a semigroup. In certain cases we give some characterizations of extreme amenability of S and we show that in these cases extreme left amenability and extreme right amenability of S are equivalent. Also when S is a compact topological semigroup, we characterize extremely left amenable subalgebras of C(S), where C(S) is the space of all continuous bounded real valued functions on S

Some extremely amenable groups

A topological group G is extremely amenable if every continuous action of G on a compact space has a fixed point. Using the concentration of measure techniques developed by Gromov and Milman, we prove that the group of automorphisms of a Lebesgue space with a non-atomic measure is extremely amenable with the weak topology but not with the uniform one. Strengthening a de la Harpe’s result, we sh...

Subsemigroups of Cancellative Amenable Semigroups

We generalize a theorem of Frey by giving sufficient conditions for a subsemigroup T of a cancellative left amenable semigroup S to be left amenable. In particular, we show that if S is left amenable and T does not contain a free subsemigroup on two generators, then T is left amenable as well.

characterizations of extremely amenable function algebras on a semigroup

let s be a semigroup. in certain cases we give some characterizations of extreme amenability of s and we show that in these cases extreme left amenability and extreme right amenability of s are equivalent. also when s is a compact topological semigroup, we characterize extremely left amenable subalgebras of c(s), where c(s) is the space of all continuous bounded real valued functions on s

Optimal strategies for a game on amenable semigroups

The semigroup game is a two-person zero-sum game defined on a semigroup (S, ·) as follows: Players 1 and 2 choose elements x ∈ S and y ∈ S, respectively, and player 1 receives a payoff f(xy) defined by a function f : S → [−1, 1]. If the semigroup is amenable in the sense of Day and von Neumann, one can extend the set of classical strategies, namely countably additive probability measures on S, ...

Automorphism Groups of Countably Categorical Linear Orders are Extremely Amenable

We show that the automorphism groups of countably categorical linear orders are extremely amenable. Using methods of Kechris, Pestov, and Todorcevic, we use this fact to derive a structural Ramsey theorem for certain families of finite ordered structures with finitely many partial equivalence relations with convex classes.
