Amenable uniformly recurrent subgroups and lattice embeddings

Group Theory 2020-12-23 v4

Abstract

We study lattice embeddings for the class of countable groups Γ\Gamma defined by the property that the largest amenable uniformly recurrent subgroup AΓA_\Gamma is continuous. When AΓA_\Gamma comes from an extremely proximal action and the envelope of AΓA_\Gamma is co-amenable in Γ\Gamma, we obtain restrictions on the locally compact groups GG that contain a copy of Γ\Gamma as a lattice, notably regarding normal subgroups of GG, product decompositions of GG, and more generally dense mappings from GG to a product of locally compact groups.
