Abstract

AbstractWe study full groups of countable, measure-preserving equivalence relations. Our main results include that they are all homeomorphic to the separable Hilbert space and that every homomorphism from an ergodic full group to a separable group is continuous. We also find bounds for the minimal number of topological generators (elements generating a dense subgroup) of full groups allowing us to distinguish between full groups of equivalence relations generated by free, ergodic actions of the free groups Fm and Fn if m and n are sufficiently far apart. We also show that an ergodic equivalence relation is generated by an action of a finitely generated group if an only if its full group is topologically finitely generated.
