Exactness of locally compact groups

Group Theory 2017-03-23 v3 Operator Algebras

Abstract

We give some new characterizations of exactness for locally compact second countable groups. In particular, we prove that a locally compact second countable group is exact if and only if it admits a topologically amenable action on a compact Hausdorff space. This answers an open question by Anantharaman-Delaroche.
