Abstract

Answering a question of Benjamini, we present an isometry-invariant random partition of the Euclidean space Rd\mathbb{R}^d, d3d\geq 3, into infinite connected indistinguishable pieces, such that the adjacency graph defined on the pieces is the 3-regular infinite tree. Along the way, it is proved that any finitely generated one-ended amenable Cayley graph can be represented in Rd\mathbb{R}^d as an isometry-invariant random partition of Rd\mathbb{R}^d to bounded polyhedra, and also as an isometry-invariant random partition of Rd\mathbb{R}^d to indistinguishable pieces. A new technique is developed to prove indistinguishability for certain constructions, connecting this notion to factor of iid's.
