Abstract

For an action of a discrete group Γ\Gamma on a set XX, we show that the Schreier graph on XX has property A if and only if the permutation representation on 2X\ell_2X generates an exact C\mathrm{C}^*-algebra. This is well known in the case of the left regular action on X=ΓX=\Gamma as the equivalence of C\mathrm{C}^*-exactness and property A of its Cayley graph. This also generalizes Sako's theorem, which states that exactness of the uniform Roe algebra Cu(X)\mathrm{C}^*_{\mathrm{u}}(X) characterizes property A of XX when XX is uniformly locally finite.
