Abstract:
Let $G$ be a countable group of automorphisms on a ${W^{\ast }}$ algebra $\mathcal {M}$ and let ${\phi _0}$ be a ${w^{\ast }}{G_\delta }$ point of the set of $G$ invariant states on $\mathcal {M}$ which belong to ${w^{\ast }}\operatorname {cl} \operatorname {Co} E$, where $E$ is a set of (possibly pure) states on $\mathcal {M}$. If $G$ is amenable, then the cyclic representation ${\pi _{{\phi _0}}}$ corresponding to ${\phi _0}$ is contained in $\{ \oplus {\pi _\phi };\phi \in E\}$. This property characterizes amenable groups. Related results are obtained.References
