Invariant states and a conditional fixed point property for affine actions.
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 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...
We prove that the type factor generated by the regular representation of is isomorphic to its tensor product with the hyperfinite type factor. This implies that the unitary group of is contractible with respect to the topology defined by the natural Hilbertian norm.
