Almost having invariant vectors vs having almost invariant vectors?












2












$begingroup$


Let $Gamma$ be a discrete and countable Group and let $pi:Gammato mathcal{B(H)}$ be a unitary representation.



We say that $pi$ almost has invariant vectors if for every compact (=finite) subset $FsubseteqGamma$ and $varepsilon >0$ there there exists a unit vector $xiinmathcal{H}$ such that
$$ |pi(s)xi -xi|<varepsilon; : forall sin F.$$



This is demonstrated to be equivalent to the weak containment of the trivial representation, denoted by $1_Gamma$, in $pi$ (see for example Cor. F.1.5, [1], general case of locally compact groups).



In other literature (for example Thm. A.5. and A.12, [2]) I have found the following definition:
$(pi,mathcal{H})$ admits almost invariant vectors if there exists a sequence of unit vectors $(xi_n)_nsubseteq mathcal{H}$ such that
$$|pi(s)xi_n-xi_n| to 0 ; : ; forall s in Gamma$$
which is also claimed to be equivalent to the trivial representation being weakly contained in $pi$.



Are these conditions really equivalent? If so, how would I go about understanding this equivalence? At this point I don't see how these two could be equivalent, without considering nets instead of sequences in the second condition.



Many thanks in advance.

          $begingroup$

          The implication "$(pi, H)$ admits almost invariant vectors" $Rightarrow$ "$(pi,H)$ almost admits invariant vectors" is relatively straightforward: Choose a sequence $(xi_n)$ in $H$ with $|pi(s)xi_n-xi_n|to 0$ for all $sinGamma$. If $FsubsetGamma$ is finite and $varepsilon>0$ is given, then for each $sin F$ there is some $N_s$ such that $|pi(s)xi_n-xi_n|<varepsilon$ for $ngeq N_s$. Now choose $ngeqmax{N_s:sin F}$, and put $xi=xi_n$.



          For the other direction, let $(F_n)$ be an increasing sequence of finite subsets of $Gamma$ such that $cup_nF_n=Gamma$. For each $n$, there exists $xi_nin H$ with $|pi(s)xi_n-xi_n|<frac{1}{n}$ for all $sin F_n$. Then $(xi_n)$ is your sequence for the criterion of almost invariant vectors.

            The implication "$(pi, H)$ admits almost invariant vectors" $Rightarrow$ "$(pi,H)$ almost admits invariant vectors" is relatively straightforward: Choose a sequence $(xi_n)$ in $H$ with $|pi(s)xi_n-xi_n|to 0$ for all $sinGamma$. If $FsubsetGamma$ is finite and $varepsilon>0$ is given, then for each $sin F$ there is some $N_s$ such that $|pi(s)xi_n-xi_n|<varepsilon$ for $ngeq N_s$. Now choose $ngeqmax{N_s:sin F}$, and put $xi=xi_n$.



            For the other direction, let $(F_n)$ be an increasing sequence of finite subsets of $Gamma$ such that $cup_nF_n=Gamma$. For each $n$, there exists $xi_nin H$ with $|pi(s)xi_n-xi_n|<frac{1}{n}$ for all $sin F_n$. Then $(xi_n)$ is your sequence for the criterion of almost invariant vectors.
