Petrykowski's bounded-orbit conjecture for definable groups
Petrykowski's bounded-orbit conjecture for definable groups
Let be a definable group. Say that is definably amenable if it admits a left -invariant Keisler measure on over a model . For a sufficiently saturated model and a type , say that has bounded orbit if its orbit under the left action of has cardinality smaller than the saturation cardinal; say that has a bounded orbit if some such type does.
Petrykowski's conjecture. If has a bounded orbit, then is definably amenable.
The conjecture connects the existence of a small orbit on the type space with invariant-measure amenability for definable groups. The source attributes it to Petrykowski through Newelski; its resolution is not specified in the supplied text.
