      Let \(G\) be a finitely generated amenable group and \(\Sigma_G =\{0,1\}^G\) the Bernoulli shiftspace over the field of two elements. The author investigates linear, \(G\)-invariant subspaces in the spirit of Atiyah's \(L^2\)-Betti numbers in algebraic topology [\textit{M. F. Atiyah}, Astérisque 32-33, 43-72 (1976; Zbl 0323.58015)]. The role of dimension in the definition of the Betti number is played by topological entropy. Results of Dodziuk, Cohen Cheeger and Gromov, Linnel, Lück have corresponding statements in this setup.
