"On tilings, amenable equivalence relations and foliated spaces"

Martínez, Matilde

I will describe a family of foliated spaces constructed from tilings on Lie groups. They provide a negative answer to the following question by G.Hector: are leaves of a compact foliated space always quasi-isometric to Cayley graphs? Their construction was motivated by a profound conjecture of Giordano, Putnam and Skau on the classification, up to orbit equivalence, of actions of countable amenable groups on the Cantor set. I will briefly explain how these examples relate to the GPS conjecture. This is joint work with Fernando Alcalde Cuesta and Álvaro Lozano Rojo.
