Abstract

Let C\mathfrak{C} be the smallest class of countable discrete groups with the following properties: (i) C\mathfrak{C} contains the trivial group, (ii) C\mathfrak{C} is closed under isomorphisms, countable increasing unions and extensions by Z\mathbb{Z}. Note that C\mathfrak{C} contains all countable discrete torsion-free abelian groups and poly-Z\mathbb{Z} groups. Also, C\mathfrak{C} is a subclass of the class of countable discrete torsion-free elementary amenable groups. In this paper, we show that if ΓC\Gamma\in \mathfrak{C}, then all strongly outer actions of Γ\Gamma on the Razak-Jacelon algebra W\mathcal{W} are cocycle conjugate to each other. This can be regarded as an analogous result of Szab\'o's result for strongly self-absorbing C^*-algebras.
