Makoto Yamashita 2010-10-16T06:37:28Z 2010-10-16T06:37:28Z <p>Yes it is. It follows from Theorem 3.3 of [1] and the fact that the trivial action of an amenable group on $\mathbb{C}$ is amenable. More modern reference is [2] (in particular Section 4.3).</p> <p>[1] C. Anantharaman-Delaroche. Systèmes dynamiques non commutatifs et moyennabilité. Math.
