We show that the universal minimimal proximal flow and the universal minimal strongly proximal flow of a discrete group can be realized as the Stone spaces of translation invariant Boolean algebras of subsets of the group satisfying a higher order notion of syndeticity. We establish algebraic, combinatorial and topological dynamical characterizations of these subsets that we use to obtain new necessary and sufficient conditions for strong amenability and amenability. We also characterize dense orbit sets, answering a question of Glasner, Tsankov, Weiss and Zucker.

We study amenability of definable groups and topological groups, and prove various results, briefly described below. Among our main technical tools, of interest in its own right, is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and also some results about measures and measure-like functions (which we call means and pre-means). As an application we show that if $G$ is an amenable topological group, then the Bohr compactification of $G$ coincides with a certain ``weak Bohr compactification introduced in [24]. In other words, the conclusion says that certain connected components of $G$ coincide: $G^{00}_{topo} = G^{000}_{topo}$. We also prove wide generalizations of this result, implying in particular its extension to a ``definable-topological context, confirming the main conjectures from [24]. We also introduce $bigvee$-definable group topologies on a given $emptyset$-definable group $G$ (including group topologies induced by type-definable subgroups as well as uniformly definable group topologies), and prove that the existence of a mean on the lattice of closed, type-definable subsets of $G$ implies (under some assumption) that $cl(G^{00}_M) = cl(G^{000}_M)$ for any model $M$. Thirdly, we give an example of a $emptyset$-definable approximate subgroup $X$ in a saturated extension of the group $mathbb{F}_2 times mathbb{Z}$ in a suitable language (where $mathbb{F}_2$ is the free group in 2-generators) for which the $bigvee$-definable group $H:=langle X rangle$ contains no type-definable subgroup of bounded index. This refutes a conjecture by Wagner and shows that the Massicot-Wagner approach to prove that a locally compact (and in consequence also Lie) ``model exists for each approximate subgroup does not work in general (they proved in [29] that it works for definably amenable approximate subgroups).
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 of Jones and Schmidt and has property Gamma (and in particular is inner amenable). We show moreover in the realm of amenable $Gamma$ that there are many such alternating groups which are simple, finitely generated, and C$^*$-simple. The device for establishing nonisomorphism among these examples is a topological version of Austins result on the invariance of measure entropy under bounded orbit equivalence.
In this paper, the notion of proper proximality (introduced in [BIP18]) is studied for various families of groups that act on trees. We show that if a group acts non-elementarily by isometries on a tree such that for any two edges, the intersection o f their edge stabilizers is finite, then G is properly proximal. We then provide a complete classification result for proper proximality among graph products of non-trivial groups, generalizing recent work of Duchesne, Tucker-Drob and Wesolek classifying inner amenability for graph products. As a consequence of the above result we obtain the absence of Cartan subalgebras and Cartan-rigidity in properly proximal graph products of weakly amenable groups with Cowling-Haagerup constant 1.
We give a new perspective on the homological characterisations of amenability given by Johnson in the context of bounded cohomology and by Block and Weinberger in the context of uniformly finite homology. We examine the interaction between their theo ries and explain the relationship between these characterisations. We apply these ideas to give a new proof of non- vanishing for the bounded cohomology of a free group.
In this paper we define the notion of monic representation for the $C^*$-algebras of finite higher-rank graphs with no sources, and undertake a comprehensive study of them. Monic representations are the representations that, when restricted to the co mmutative $C^*$-algebra of the continuous functions on the infinite path space, admit a cyclic vector. We link monic representations to the $Lambda$-semibranching representations previously studied by Farsi, Gillaspy, Kang, and Packer, and also provide a universal representation model for nonnegative monic representations.
