Abstract

Given a countable amenable group GG, a F\o lner sequence (FN)G(F_N) \subseteq G, and a set EGE \subseteq G with dˉ(FN)(E)=lim supNEFNFN>0\bar{d}_{(F_N)}(E)=\limsup_{N \to \infty} \frac{|E \cap F_N|}{|F_N|}>0, Furstenberg's correspondence principle associates with the pair (E,(FN))(E,(F_N)) a measure preserving system (X,B,μ,(Tg)gG)(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,(T_g)_{g \in G}) and a set ABA \in \mathcal{B} with μ(A)=dˉ(FN)(E)\mu(A)=\bar{d}_{(F_N)}(E), in such a way that for all rNr \in \mathbb{N} and all g1,,grGg_1,\dots,g_r \in G one has dˉ(FN)(g11Egr1E)μ((Tg1)1A(Tgr)1A)\bar{d}_{(F_N)}(g_1^{-1}E \cap \dots \cap g_r^{-1}E)\geq\mu((T_{g_1})^{-1}A \cap \dots \cap (T_{g_r})^{-1}A). We show that under some natural assumptions, the system (X,B,μ,(Tg)gG)(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,(T_g)_{g \in G}) is unique up to a measurable isomorphism. We also establish variants of this uniqueness result for non-countable discrete amenable semigroups as well as for a generalized correspondence principle which deals with a finite family of bounded functions f1,,f:GCf_1,\dots,f_{\ell}: G \rightarrow \mathbb{C}.
