A NONAMENABLE “FACTOR” OF A EUCLIDEAN SPACE

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Answering a question of Benjamini, we present an isometry-invariant random partition of the Euclidean space Rd, d ≥ 3, into infinite connected indistinguishable pieces, such that the adjacency graph defined on the pieces is the 3-regular infinite tree. Along the way, it is proved that any finitely generated one-ended amenable Cayley graph can be represented in R d as an isometry-invariant random partition of Rd to bounded polyhedra, and also as an isometry-invariant random partition of R d to indistinguishable pieces. A new technique is developed to prove indistinguishability for certain constructions, connecting this notion to factor of IID’s.
