AbstractLet G be a countable group of automorphisms of a Lebesgue space (X, m) and let [G] be the full group of G. For a pair of countable ergodic subgroups H1 and H2 of [G], the following problem is considered: when are the full subgroups [H1] and [H2] conjugate in the normalizer N[G] = {g ∈ Aut X: g[G]g-1 = [G]} of [G]. A complete solution of the problem is given in the case when [G] is an approximately finite group of type II and [H] is admissible, in the sense that there exists an ergodic subgroup [H0] of [G] and a countable subgroup Γ ⊂ N[H0] consisting of automorphisms which are outer for [H0], such that [H0] ⊂ [G] and the full subgroup [Ho, Γ] generated by [H0] and Γ coincides with [G].

There are notions of L2-Betti numbers for discrete groups (Cheeger–Gromov, Lück), for type II1-factors (recent work of Connes-Shlyakhtenko) and for countable standard equivalence relations (Gaboriau). Whereas the first two are algebraically defined using Lück's dimension theory, Gaboriau's definition of the latter is inspired by the work of Cheeger and Gromov. In this work we give a definition of L2-Betti numbers of discrete measured groupoids that is based on Lück's dimension theory, thereby encompassing the cases of groups, equivalence relations and holonomy groupoids with an invariant measure for a complete transversal. We show that with our definition, like with Gaboriau's, the L2-Betti numbers [Formula: see text] of a countable group G coincide with the L2-Betti numbers [Formula: see text] of the orbit equivalence relation [Formula: see text] of a free action of G on a probability space. This yields a new proof of the fact the L2-Betti numbers of groups with orbit equivalent actions coincide.

An associative ring R with identity is called a left (right) FPF ring if given any finitely generated faithful left (right) R-module A and any left (right) R-module M then M is the epimorphic image of a direct sum of copies of A. Faith and Page have asked if the subring of elements fixed by a finite group of automorphisms of an FPF ring need also be FPF. Here we present examples showing the answer to be negative in general.

If A is a group acting on a set X and x ∈ X, we denote the stabilizer of x in A by CA(x) and let Γ(x) be the set of elements of X fixed by CA(x). We shall say the action of A is partitive if the distinct subsets Γ(x), x ∈ X, partition X. A special example of this phenomenon is the case of a semiregular action (when CA (x) = 1 for every x ∈ X so the induced partition is a trivial one). Our concern here is with the case that A is a group of automorphisms of a finite group G and X = G#, the set of non-identity elements of G. We shall prove that if A is nilpotent, then except in a very restricted situation, partitivity implies semiregularity.

Let R be a ring and G a group of automorphisms of R. In this paper we investigate the transfer of the Von Neumman regularity from the total quotient ring of R to the total quotient ring of its fixed ring. We prove also that, for a locally finite group, Min(RG) inherits the compactness from Min(R), where Min(R) denotes the set of all minimal prime ideals of R. Finally, We explore some conditions under which we can transfer the PF-property (respectively, pseudo PF-property) from a ring to its fixed subring.

Abstract We obtain in terms of additive and multi-additive functions the solutions f, h: S → H of the functional equation $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \sum\limits_{\lambda \in \Phi }f(x+\lambda y+a_{\lambda })=Nf(x)+h(y),\quad x,y\in S, \end{array} $$ where (S, +) is an abelian monoid, Φ is a finite group of automorphisms of S, N = | Φ | designates the number of its elements, {aλ, λ ∈ Φ} are arbitrary elements of S and (H, +) is an abelian group. In addition, some applications are given. This equation provides a joint generalization of many functional equations such as Cauchy’s, Jensen’s, Łukasik’s, quadratic or Φ-quadratic equations.
