Abstract

Let Γ\Gamma be a countable discrete amenable group, and let A=l(Γ)ΓA=l^\infty(\Gamma) \rtimes \Gamma or A=C(M)ΓA = \mathrm{C}(M) \rtimes \Gamma, where (M,Γ)(M, \Gamma) is the universal minimal set of Γ\Gamma. It is shown that if a,bAKa, b \in A \otimes \mathcal K are positive elements such that dτ(a)<dτ(b),τT(A),\mathrm{d}_\tau(a) < \mathrm{d}_\tau(b),\quad \tau \in \mathrm{T}(A), then aa is Cuntz subequivalent to bb.
