Abstract:
We prove a classification result for properly outer actions σ of discrete amenable groups G on strongly amenable subfactors of type II, N ⊂ M, a class of subfactors that were shown to be completely classified by their standard invariant [Formula: see text], in [27]. The result shows that the action σ is completely classified in terms of the action it induces on [Formula: see text]. As an application of this, we obtain that inclusions of type III λ factors, 0 < λ < 1, having discrete decomposition and strongly amenable graph, are completely classified by their standard invariant.

AbstractWe prove pointwise and maximal ergodic theorems for probability-measure-preserving (PMP) actions of any countable group, provided it admits an essentially free, weakly mixing amenable action of stable typeIII$_1$. We show that this class contains all irreducible lattices in connected semi-simple Lie groups without compact factors. We also establish similar results when the stable type isIII$_\lambda $,$0 \lt \lambda \lt 1$, under a suitable hypothesis. Our approach is based on the following two principles.

AbstractIn previous work, the author introduced a measure-conjugacy invariant for sofic group actions called sofic entropy. Here, it is proven that the sofic entropy of an amenable group action equals its classical entropy. The proof uses a new measure-conjugacy invariant called upper-sofic entropy and a theorem of Rudolph and Weiss for the entropy of orbit-equivalent actions relative to the orbit changeσ-algebra.

We say that an action of a countable discrete inverse semigroup on a locally compact Hausdorff space is amenable if its groupoid of germs is amenable in the sense of Anantharaman-Delaroche and Renault.

Abstract We prove that for any infinite countable amenable group G, any {\varepsilon>0} and any finite subset {K\subset G} , there exists a tiling (partition of G into finite “tiles” using only finitely many “shapes”), where all the tiles are {(K,\varepsilon)} -invariant. Moreover, our tiling has topological entropy zero (i.e., subexponential complexity of patterns). As an application, we construct a free action of G (in the sense that the mappings, associated to elements of G other than the unit, have no fixed points) on a zero-dimensional space, such that the topological entropy of this a

Consider a countable amenable group acting by homeomorphisms on a compact metrizable space.

For algebraic actions of polycyclic-by-finite groups, Chung and Li proved that they do. We provide examples showing that Chung and Li’s result is near-optimal in the sense that the conclusion fails for some non-algebraic action generated by a single homeomorphism, and for some algebraic actions of non-finitely generated abelian groups.

Thompson’s groups F, T, and V represent crucial examples of groups in geometric group theory that bridge it with other areas of mathematics such as logic, computer science, analysis, and geometry. One of the ways to study these groups is by understanding the geometric meaning of their actions. In this thesis we deal with Thompson’s group T that acts naturally on the unit circle S1, that is identified with the segment [0, 1] with the end points glued together. The main result of this work is the explicit construction of the Schreier graph of T with respect to the action on the orbit of 1/2. Thi

In addition, we give detailed proofs of most of the results found in the first section of the paper [21].

Abstract The history of group actions is intimately tied up with the development of both algebraic topology and Lie group theory. In this chapter, we show how minimal models can be used to study compact Lie group actions on manifolds. We focus on certain aspects of group actions that are especially amenable to model techniques. Throughout the chapter, G will generally denote a Lie group acting on a compact manifold M . Certain properties of M will be apparent. For instance, when the action is free (i.e. no point in M is left fixed by any g G ), we have a principal G -bundle M M/G with the particular consequence that χ (M) 0.

Abstract:
This chapter outlines the popular methods of judging whether a belief is good or bad and whether an action is adequately grounded in sound logic. The chapter summarizes a debate between William Clifford and William James about whether it is ever justified to hold a belief without adequate evidence and describes a contemporary model of rational choice. Behavior based in delusion represents a deviation from rational choice, and in most cases delusions lead to ineffective or self-defeating behavior. But, in some important instances, delusional behavior can produce happier relationships, better adjustment to life’s challenges, and more effective action. Some delusions are impossible to reverse, even when the person knows they are illusions. But other delusions seem more malleable and amenable to change. In these cases, people may be aware of their delusions.

Their role is more salient now than in the previous half-century, because many contemporary economic challenges are more amenable to public action at the regional and local levels, and because for the moment, the federal government has willingly relinquished its leadership role in domestic policy.

Abstract:
This chapter illustrates some of the main approaches used to gain an understanding of the mechanism of enzyme action. A complete description of a mechanism involves both kinetic and structural aspects and hence it can be a long process to achieve this goal. The chapter focuses on the kinetic experiments as these are more amenable to routine laboratory investigations. It also looks at some of the structural approaches which can be used, such as the mapping of active sites and identification of amino acids involved in catalysis or binding. There are at least three good reasons why a study of enzyme kinetics is important. Firstly, it is observing the enzyme doing its job, i.e. actually catalysing a reaction. Secondly, it can provide very important information about the mechanism. Thirdly, it helps one to understand the physiological role of the enzyme in an organism.

Abstract:
This chapter looks at the purpose and constitutional significance of judicial review. Where public bodies overreach themselves by acting unlawfully, the judicial review process allows individuals to hold public bodies to account in the courts, ensuring that governmental and public powers are lawfully exercised. This maintains the rule of law by helping to protect the public from the arbitrary or unreasonable exercise of government power. Judicial review is therefore a powerful check and control by the courts on executive action, but it also raises issues of whether the process gives the judiciary too much power over the elected government. There are three preliminary or threshold issues that a claimant needs to satisfy when bringing a judicial review claim. To be amenable to judicial review, the claim must raise a public law matter; it must be justiciable; and the claimant must have standing (locus standi).

Abstract In contrast to the traditional classroom environment that promotes passive learning, the multimedia-based studio approach is considered to be a more effective tool for delivering course content as it increases active in-class involvement, teamwork experience and cooperative learning (Wilson 1994). More significantly, the studio environment provides a plethora of opportunities to include case studies that promote hands-on experience and problem-solving, illustrate real-life problems and increase student interest in the course content (Starrett and Morcos 2001). In general, engineering

Abstract:
In recent years, the use of electroactive polymers (EAPs), which are polymeric materials that respond to an external electrical stimulus by changing shape or size, has been the focus of considerable research effort. While most studies have considered chemically cross-linked homopolymers, only a few reports have addressed the use of physically cross-linked triblock copolymer systems. We have previously demonstrated that triblock copolymer networks swollen by a midblock-selective, nonvolatile solvent constitute excellent candidates as dielectric elastomers, one class of EAP materials. Due to the

Abstract:
The first insights into index-guided diode laser array behavior were provided by using the effective index method to solve for the modes of the individual waveguides and coupled-mode theory to describe how these mix to form the array modes. Although this procedure has been fruitful for the study of conventional arrays, new devices now being fabricated employ large index steps for defining the channels, and thus are not amenable to the effective index approximation. Even worse, the modes of these devices, when calculated numerically, are very complex. This fact, together with the enormous param

Abstract:
The unique properties of vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs), such as circular output beam, single longitudinal mode, and 2-dimensional array capability, make them promising light sources for a variety of applications, including optical data links, data storage, display and printing systems. Moreover, on-wafer testing and compatibility with traditional integrated circuit fabrication technologies make VCSEL manufacture feasible and potentially inexpensive. Recently, VCSELs fabricated using "wet" oxidation1 have demonstrated the lowest threshold current (91µA),2 lowest threshold vol
