Abstract:
Let be a -compact locally compact nondiscrete group and let be a -invariant ideal of . We denote the set of left invariant means on that are zero on (i.e. for all ) by . We show that, when is amenable as a discrete group and the closed -invariant subset of the spectrum of corresponding to is a -set, is very large in the sense that every nonempty -subset of contains a norm discrete copy of , where is the Stone- compactification of the set of positive integers with the discrete topology. In particular, we prove that has no exposed points in this case and every nonempty -subset of the set of left invariant means on contains a norm discrete copy of .
