A homological characterization of topological amenability

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Generalizing Block and Weinberger's characterization of amenability we introduce the notion of uniformly finite homology for a group action on a compact space and use it to give a homological characterization of topological amenability for actions. By considering the case of the natural action of GG on its Stone-\vCech compactification we obtain a homological characterization of exactness of the group, answering a question of Nigel Higson.
