Equivariant higher -theory for compact Lie group actions.
We prove some extension theorems involving uniformly continuous maps of the universal Urysohn space. As an application, we prove reconstruction theorems for certain groups of autohomeomorphisms of this space and of its open subsets.
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.
