Given a length function L on the R-modules of a unital ring R, for each sofic group $Gamma$ we define a mean length for every locally L-finite $RGamma$-module relative to a bigger $RGamma$-module. We establish an addition formula for the mean length. We give two applications. The first one shows that for any unital left Noetherian ring R, $RGamma$ is stably direct finite. The second one shows that for any $ZGamma$-module M, the mean topological dimension of the induced $Gamma$-action on the Pontryagin dual of M coincides with the von Neumann-L{u}ck rank of M.
We introduce mean dimensions for continuous actions of countable sofic groups on compact metrizable spaces. These generalize the Gromov-Lindenstrauss-Weiss mean dimensions for actions of countable amenable groups, and are useful for distinguishing co
We prove that the alternating group of a topologically free action of a countably infinite group $Gamma$ on the Cantor set has the property that all of its $ell^2$-Betti numbers vanish and, in the case that $Gamma$ is amenable, is stable in the sense
We describe elementary examples of finitely presented sofic groups which are not residually amenable (and thus not initially subamenable or LEA, for short). We ask if an amalgam of two amenable groups over a finite subgroup is residually amenable and
We refine two results in the paper entitled ``Sofic mean dimension by Hanfeng Li, improving two inequalities with two equalities, respectively, for sofic mean dimension of typical actions. On the one hand, we study sofic mean dimension of full shifts
We prove that $Out(F_N)$ is boundary amenable. This also holds more generally for $Out(G)$, where $G$ is either a toral relatively hyperbolic group or a finitely generated right-angled Artin group. As a consequence, all these groups satisfy the Novikov conjecture on higher signatures.
