Abstract

Using the notion of proper Cantor colorings we prove the following theorem. For any countably infinite group Γ\Gamma, there exists a free continuous action ζ:ΓC\zeta: \Gamma \curvearrowright C on the Cantor set, which is universal in the following sense: for any free Borel action α:ΓX\alpha: \Gamma \curvearrowright X on the standard Borel space, there exists an injective Borel map Θα:XC\Theta_\alpha: X\to C such that Θαα=ζΘα\Theta_\alpha\circ \alpha=\zeta \circ \Theta_\alpha. We extend our theorem for (nonfree) Borel (Γ,Z)(\Gamma,Z)-actions, where ZZ is a uniformly recurrent subgroup.
