Tower decompositions for actions of amenable groups



October 13, 2015
1pm, 646 PGH



Abstract

Recently Downarowicz, Huczek, and Zhang proved that every amenable discrete group can be tiled by translates of finitely many approximately invariant finite sets. Using this result I will show that for every free probability-measure-preserving action of an amenable discrete group there are decompositions of the space into finitely many Rokhlin towers with approximately invariant shapes, strengthening a theorem of Ornstein and Weiss. I will then discuss applications to topological dynamics and the study of C*-crossed products.
