Group with a translation invariant ultrafilter
Thanks! Would you mind adding a few more details? Why are these two sets disjoint, and why their union is $G$?

Large deviations for sequences that are not sums of iid
Thanks a lot, Ofer! This is very helpful. My question was indeed missing an important qualifier, but it does sound like the idea is correct in spirit.

Large deviations for sequences that are not sums of iid
Thanks again, Ofer! I changed it to $S_n/n$, and I also added the requirement that $K$ is strictly convex. Note that $K$ is always convex as a pointwise limit of convex functions, and thus $K^\star$ is also always convex. When $K$ is strictly convex then so is $K^\star$. I think.

Large deviations for sequences that are not sums of iid
Thanks, Ofer! Note that I did mean my definition of $K_n$. I am thinking of $S_n$ as something that scales with $n$ like a sum of iid. The prime example is indeed $S_n=X_1+\cdots+X_n$ for iid $X_n$. In this case the statement is true as I've written it. I think :). Your comment on convexity is a good point. For this to be true $K$ would have to be strictly convex, at least at an interval.

Closed subgroups of totally disconnected Polish amenable groups
Thanks again! Is it easy to see that this subgroup is discrete and closed?

Closed subgroups of totally disconnected Polish amenable groups
Thanks a lot! I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "$F_2$ act on itself $X=F_2\times Q$"

Closure of an amenable subgroup
Regarding my first comment in this thread, it should have also said that $H'$ is discrete in $G$.

Closure of an amenable subgroup
I see now. But is this free group discrete? If not then there's no contradiction, no?
comment
Closure of an amenable subgroup
I'm not sure I understand, @AlessandroCodenotti. This would make them amenable as topological groups, but not necessarily amenable as discrete groups.
