Abstract
We study the simplicity of -algebras built from group actions. For a faithful isometric action of a group on a countable metric space , we use the associated action representation on to define the action-based -algebra . We define generalized versions of the properties and relative to the action and show that the naive form implies the analytic form. We also prove that the properties associated with a continuous action ensure the simplicity of the action-based -algebra. As an application, we deduce that big mapping class groups satisfy the property and the associated action-based -algebra is simple.
