On spectral characterizations of amenability

C Anantharaman-Delaroche - Israel Journal of Mathematics, 2003 - Springer
We show that a measured G-space (X, μ), where G is a locally compact group, is amenable
in the sense of Zimmer if and only if the following two conditions are satisfied: the associated …

Amenable actions and weak containment of certain representations of discrete groups

MG Kuhn - Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1994 - ams.org
We consider a countable discrete group $\Gamma $ acting ergodically on a standard Borel
space S with quasi-invariant measure $\mu $. Let $\pi $ be a unitary representation of …

Amenable actions of locally compact groups

FP Greenleaf - Journal of functional analysis, 1969 - Elsevier
We consider a locally compact group G with jointly continuous action G× Z→ Z on a locally
compact space. The finite Radon (regular Borel) measures M (G) act naturally on various …

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 …

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 …

Amenability, Kazhdan's property T, strong ergodicity and invariant means for ergodic group-actions

K Schmidt - Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems, 1981 - cambridge.org
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 …

Group structure and the pointwise ergodic theorem for connected amenable groups

FP Greenleaf, WR Emerson - Advances in Mathematics, 1974 - Elsevier
Let G be a connected amenable group (thus, an extension of a connected normal solvable
subgroup R by a connected compact group K= GR). We show how to explicitly construct …

Inner amenability and fullness

M Choda - Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1982 - ams.org
Let $ G $ be a countable group which is not inner amenable. Then the II $ _ {1} $-factor $ M
$ is full in the following cases:(1) $ M $ is given by the group measure space construction …

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 …

[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 …
