Abstract

Given a metric space (X,d)(X,d), the wobbling group of XX is the group of bijections g:XXg:X\rightarrow X satisfying supxXd(g(x),x)<\sup\limits_{x\in X} d(g(x),x)<\infty. We study algebraic and analytic properties of W(X)W(X) in relation with the metric space structure of XX, such as amenability of the action of the lamplighter group XZ/2ZW(X) \bigoplus_{X} \mathbf Z/2\mathbf Z \rtimes W(X) on XZ/2Z\bigoplus_{X} \mathbf Z/2\mathbf Z and property (T).
