On the dynamics of (left) orderable groups

Andrés Navas (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We develop dynamical methods for studying left-orderable groups as well as the spaces of orderings associated to them. We give new and elementary proofs of theorems by Linnell (if a left-orderable group has infinitely many orderings, then it has uncountably many) and McCleary (the space of orderings of the free group is a Cantor set). We show that this last result also holds for countable torsion-free nilpotent groups which are not rank-one Abelian. Finally, we apply our methods to the...

On the generalized Avez method

Antoni Leon Dawidowicz (1992)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

A generalization of the Avez method of construction of an invariant measure is presented.

Amenability and Ramsey theory

Justin Tatch Moore (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The purpose of this article is to connect the notion of the amenability of a discrete group with a new form of structural Ramsey theory. The Ramsey-theoretic reformulation of amenability constitutes a considerable weakening of the Følner criterion. As a by-product, it will be shown that in any non-amenable group G, there is a subset E of G such that no finitely additive probability measure on G measures all translates of E equally. The analysis of discrete groups will be generalized...

The uniqueness of Haar measure and set theory

Piotr Zakrzewski (1997)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let G be a group of homeomorphisms of a nondiscrete, locally compact, σ-compact topological space X and suppose that a Haar measure on X exists: a regular Borel measure μ, positive on nonempty open sets, finite on compact sets and invariant under the homeomorphisms from G. Under some mild assumptions on G and X we prove that the measure completion of μ is the unique, up to a constant factor, nonzero, σ-finite, G-invariant measure defined on its domain iff μ is ergodic and the G-orbits...
