Abstract

Given any amenable group GG (with a left Haar measure |\cdot| or dgdg), we can select out a \textit{F{\o}lner subnet} {Fθ,θΘ}\{F_\theta,\theta\in\Theta\} from any left F{\o}lner net in GG, which is \textit{LL^\infty-admissible}, namely, for any Borel GG-space (X,X)(X,\mathscr{X}) and any φL(X,X)\varphi\in L^\infty(X,\mathscr{X}), \begin{gather*} \lim_{\theta\in\Theta}\frac{1}{|F_\theta|}\int_{F_\theta}\varphi(gx)dg=\varphi^*(x)\ \forall x\in X\quad {\textrm{and}}\quad \varphi^*=(g\varphi)^*\ \forall g\in G. \end{gather*} Moreover, if GG is σ\sigma-compact such as a locally compact second countable Hausdorff amenable group, then φL(X,X)\varphi^*\in L^\infty(X,\mathscr{X}), φ(gx)=φ(x)\varphi^*(gx)=\varphi^*(x) \textit{a.e.}, and φ\varphi^* is \textit{a.e.} independent of the choice of the admissible F{\o}lner net {Fθ,θΘ}\{F_\theta,\theta\in\Theta\} in GG. Consequently, we may easily obtain the ergodic disintegration of invariant probability measures for any σ\sigma-compact amenable group acting Borel on a compact metric space XX by continuous transformations of XX, and the existence of σ\sigma-finite invariant Radon measures for any Borel action of an amenable group on a locally compact, σ\sigma-compact, metric space XX by continuous maps of XX, and a LL^\infty-pointwise multiple ergodic theorem.
