Positive sofic entropy implies finite stabilizer

Dynamical Systems 2016-08-24 v3 Group Theory

Abstract

We prove that for a measure preserving action of a sofic group with positive sofic entropy, the set of points with finite stabilizer have positive measure. This extends results of Weiss and Seward for amenable groups and free groups, respectively. It follows that the action of a sofic group on its subgroups by inner automorphisms has zero topological sofic entropy, and a faithful action with completely positive sofic entropy must be free.
