Unimodularity of Invariant Random Subgroups

Group Theory 2018-04-24 v2

Abstract

An invariant random subgroup HGH \leq G is a random closed subgroup whose law is invariant to conjugation by all elements of GG. When GG is locally compact and second countable, we show that for every invariant random subgroup HGH \leq G there almost surely exists an invariant measure on G/HG/H. Equivalently, the modular function of HH is almost surely equal to the modular function of GG, restricted to HH. We use this result to construct invariant measures on orbit equivalence relations of measure preserving actions. Additionally, we prove a mass transport principle for discrete or compact invariant random subgroups.
