Abstract

Namely, we prove that if GG is a countable, discrete group and fMn(Z(G))f\in M_{n}(\Z(G)) is invertible on 2(G)n,\ell^{2}(G)^{\oplus n}, but ff is not invertible in Mn(Z(G))M_{n}(\Z(G)), then the measure-preserving action of GG on XfX_{f} equipped with the Haar measure is weakly equivalent to a Bernoulli action. We shall in fact prove this weak equivalence in the case that ff has a "formal inverse in 2\ell^{2}".
