Finite entropy actions of free groups, rigidity of stabilizers, and a Howe-Moore type phenomenon (Q327608)

The author inquires on probability measure-preserving actions of finitely generated free groups, and thoroughly answers how the property of having finite \(f\)-invariant entropy relates to the qualitative dynamical properties of the action. Specifically, the author proves: a novel formula for the \(f\)-invariant entropy; that the stabilizer of almost every point must be either trivial or of finite index; that every non-identity group element acts with infinite Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy (when the space is not essentially countable); that there is an integer \(n\) such that for every non-trivial normal subgroup \(K\), the number of \(K\)-ergodic components is at most \(n\) (if the action is ergodic).
