Abstract:
Let G be a noncompact nondiscrete $\sigma$-compact locally compact metric group. A Baire category argument gives measurable sets $\{ {A_\gamma }:\gamma \in \Gamma \}$ of finite measure with card $(\Gamma ) = c$ which are independent on the open sets. One approximates $\{ {A_\gamma }:\gamma \in \Gamma \}$ by arrays of continuous bounded functions with compact support and then scatters these arrays to construct functions $\{ {f_\gamma }:\gamma \in \Gamma \}$ in ${\text {CB}}(G)$ with a certain independence property. If G is also amenable as a discrete group, the existence of these independent functions shows that on ${\text {CB}}(G)$ there are ${2^c}$ mutually singular elements of LIM each of which is singular to TLIM.References
