The space of stable weak equivalence classes of measure-preserving actions (1705.03528v3)

Published 9 May 2017 in math.DS

Abstract: The concept of (stable) weak containment for measure-preserving actions of a countable group $\Gamma$ is analogous to the classical notion of (stable) weak containment of unitary representations. If $\Gamma$ is amenable then the Rokhlin lemma shows that all essentially free actions are weakly equivalent. However if $\Gamma$ is non-amenable then there can be many different weak and stable weak equivalence classes. Our main result is that the set of stable weak equivalence classes naturally admits the structure of a Choquet simplex. For example, when $\Gamma=\mathbb{Z}$ this simplex has only a countable set of extreme points but when $\Gamma$ is a nonamenable free group, this simplex is the Poulsen simplex. We also show that when $\Gamma$ contains a nonabelian free group, this simplex has uncountably many strongly ergodic essentially free extreme points.
