Invariant random subgroups of linear groups
Abstract
Let be a countable non-amenable linear group with a simple, center free Zariski closure, the space of all subgroups of with the, compact, metric, Chabauty topology. An invariant random subgroup (IRS) of is a conjugation invariant Borel probability measure on . An is called nontrivial if it does not have an atom in the trivial group, i.e. if it is nontrivial almost surely. We denote by the collection of all nontrivial on . We show that there exits a free subgroup and a non-discrete group topology on such that for every the following properties hold: (i) -almost every subgroup of is open. (ii) for -almost every . (iii) is infinitely generated, for every open subgroup. (iv) The map given by , is an -invariant isomorphism of probability spaces. We say that an action of on a probability space, by measure preserving transformations, is almost surely non free (ASNF) if almost all point stabilizers are non-trivial. As a corollary of the above theorem we show that the product of finitely many ANSF -spaces, with the diagonal action, is ASNF. Let be a countable linear group, the maximal normal amenable subgroup of . We show that if is supported on amenable subgroups of then in fact it is supported on . In particular if then almost surely.
