Abstract

For every countable abelian group GG we find the set of all its subgroups HH (HGH\leq G) such that a typical measure-preserving HH-action on a standard atomless probability space (X,F,μ)(X,\mathcal{F}, \mu) can be extended to a free measure-preserving GG-action on (X,F,μ)(X,\mathcal{F}, \mu). The description of all such pairs HGH\leq G was made in purely group terms, in the language of the dual G^\hat{G}, and GG-actions with discrete spectrum. As an application, we answer a question when a typical HH-action can be extended to a GG-action with some dynamic property, or to a GG-action at all. In particular, we offer first examples of pairs HGH\leq G satisfying both GG is countable abelian, and a typical HH-action is not embeddable in a GG-action.
