Amenable actions of discrete groups

GA Elliott, T Giordano - Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems, 1993 - cambridge.org
In 1978, RJ Zimmer introduced the notion of amenability for an action of a separable locally
compact group, or an equivalence relation, on a standard Borel space with a probability …

Amenable pairs of groups and ergodic actions and the associated von Neumann algebras

RJ Zimmer - Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 1978 - ams.org
If X and Y are ergodic G-spaces, where G is a locally compact group, and X is an extension
of Y, we study a notion of amenability for the pair $(X, Y) $. This simultaneously generalizes …

This paper discusses the relations between the following properties o finite measure
preserving ergodic actions of a countable group G: strong ergodicity (ie the non-existence of …

[图书][B] Some results on orbit inequivalent actions of non-amenable groups

I Epstein - 2008 - search.proquest.com
We show that if Γ is a countable non-amenable group, then Γ admits continuum many orbit
inequivalent free, measure preserving, ergodic actions on a standard Borel space with …

Amenable equivalence relations and the construction of ergodic averages for group actions

L Bowen, A Nevo - Journal d'Analyse Mathématique, 2015 - Springer
We present a general new method for constructing pointwise ergodic sequences on
countable groups which is applicable to amenable as well as to non-amenable groups and …

[PDF][PDF] Rigidity results for Bernoulli actions and their von Neumann algebras [after Sorin Popa]

V Stefaan - Séminaire Bourbaki, 2006 - numdam.org
Suppose that a countable group G acts freely and ergodically on the standard probability
space (X, µ) preserving the probability measure µ. We are interested in several types of …

[PDF][PDF] Ergodic theory of amenable group actions. I: The Rohlin lemma

DS Ornstein, B Weiss - 1980 - projecteuclid.org
Classically, ergodic theory began with the study of flows or actions of R. Later, for technical
reasons, much of the theory was first developed for actions of Z. More recently, there has …

Mildly mixing actions of locally compact groups

K Schmidt, P Walters - Proceedings of the London Mathematical …, 1982 - academic.oup.com
Let G be a locally compact second countable group, and let (g, x)→ gx be a properly ergodic
nonsingular action of G on a probability space (X, I, μ). This action is called mildly mixing if …

Asymptotically invariant sequences and approximate finiteness

VFR Jones, K Schmidt - American journal of mathematics, 1987 - JSTOR
1. Introduction. Throughout this paper the term'probability space'will denote a nonatomic
Lebesgue probability space. Let G be a countable group,(X, 8, It) a probability space, and let …
