We show that, whenever is a countable abelian group and is a finitely-generated subgroup of , a generic measure-preserving action of on a standard atomless probability space extends to a free measure-preserving action of on . This extends a result of Ageev, corresponding to the case when is infinite cyclic.
We study actions of discrete groups on Hilbert C*-modules induced from topological actions on compact Hausdorff spaces. We show non-amenability of actions of non-amenable and non-a-T-menable groups, provided there exists a quasi-invariant probability measure which is sufficiently close to being invariant.
We construct an example of a Morse ℤ²-action which has rank one and whose centralizer contains elements which cannot be weakly approximated by the transformations of the action.
