Abstract

In this note we study a natural analytic property of inclusions of groups akin to co-amenability: the property of existence of a non-compactly supported invariant state for the conjugation action of a group GG on the von Neumann algebra generated by the characteristic functions {1gHg1}gG\{\mathbf{1}_{gHg^{-1}}\}_{g\in G} viewed inside (G)\ell^\infty(G). Some interesting settings and examples of this phenomena are proved. We also comment on a consideration related to proper proximality, which motivated this property.
