Topological amenability of actions - forgetting topology

Let $G$ be a (countable) discrete group and let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space. Assume that $G$ acts on $X$ by homeomorphisms. Recall that the action is (topologically) amenable if there ...

Minimal actions commuting with amenable actions of $\mathbb{F}_2$

For a countable discrete group $G$ acting by homeomorphisms on a compact metrizable space $X$, we say that $G\curvearrowright X$ is (topologically) amenable if there exists a sequence of continuous ...

Topological amenability vs amenability of an action

Let $G$ be a discrete group and let $X$ be a compact, Hausdorff space. Assume that $G$ acts on $X$ by homeomorphisms. Consider the following two definitions: [$C^*$-algebras and finite dimensional ...

Amenable groups acting on the real line, that are not subexponentially-amenable

In the literature, there are several examples of solvable groups acting faithfully by order-preserving homeomorphisms of the real line. There are also examples of groups of intermediate growth with ...

Another question about amenability and Følner sequences

Følner's characterization of Amenability says that a group $G$ is amenable if there exists a directed set $(I,\leq)$ and a net {$F_i:i\in I$} of finite subsets of $G$ such that for every $γ ∈ G$, $$\...
