The action of a solvable group on an infinite set never has a unique invariant mean

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Theorem 1 of the paper proves a conjecture of J. Rosenblatt on nonuniqueness of invariant means for the action of a solvable group G on an infinite set X. The same methods used in this proof yield even a more general result: Nonuniqueness still holds if G is an amenable group containing a solvable subgroup H such that card(G///) < caid(H).
