Proper cocycles and weak forms of amenability

Paul Jolissaint (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let G and H be locally compact, second countable groups. Assume that G acts in a measure class preserving way on a standard space (X,μ) such that L ( X , μ ) has an invariant mean and that there is a Borel cocycle α: G × X → H which is proper in the sense of Jolissaint (2000) and Knudby (2014). We show that if H has one of the three properties: Haagerup property (a-T-menability), weak amenability or weak Haagerup property, then so does G. In particular, we show that if Γ and Δ are measure equivalent discrete...

Subgroups of -factorizable groups

Constancio Hernández, Mihail G. Tkachenko (1998)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The properties of -factorizable groups and their subgroups are studied. We show that a locally compact group G is -factorizable if and only if G is σ -compact. It is proved that a subgroup H of an -factorizable group G is -factorizable if and only if H is z -embedded in G . Therefore, a subgroup of an -factorizable group need not be -factorizable, and we present a method for constructing non- -factorizable dense subgroups of a special class of -factorizable groups. Finally, we construct a closed...
