Answering their query we show that any URS $Z$ of a finitely generated group is the stability system of a minimal $Z$-proper action. We also show that for any sofic $URS$ $Z$ there is a $Z$-proper action admitting an invariant measure. We prove that for a $URS$ $Z$ all $Z$-proper actions admits an invariant measure if and only if $Z$ is coamenable. In the second part of the paper we study the $\\C^*$-algebras associated to URS's. We prove that if an URS is generic then its $\\C^*$-algebra is simple. We give an example of URS $Z$ for which the associated simple $C^*$-algebra is not locally reflexive, in particular, it admits both a uniformly amenable trace and a nonuniformly amenable trace.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-09T12:45:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37B05", "20E99", "46L05" ], "keywords": [ "invariant measure", "study uniformly recurrent subgroups", "proper actions admits", "amenable trace", "stability system" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
