On co-amenability for groups and von Neumann algebras

Group Theory 2007-05-23 v3 Operator Algebras

Abstract

We first show that co-amenability does not pass to subgroups, answering a question asked by Eymard in 1972. We then address co-amenability for von Neumann algebras, describing notably how it relates to the former.
