Abstract: We study uniformly recurrent subgroups (URS) introduced by Glasner and Weiss cite{GW}. Answering their query we show that any URS $Z$ of a finitely generated group is the stability system of a minimal $Z$-proper action. We also show that for any sofic $URS$ $Z$ there is a $Z$-proper action admitting an invariant measure. We prove that for a $URS$ $Z$ all $Z$-proper actions admits an invariant measure if and only if $Z$ is coamenable. In the second part of the paper we study the separable $C^{\ast }$-algebras associated to URS's. We prove that if an URS is generic then its $C^{\ast }$-algebra is simple. We give various examples of generic URS's with exact and nuclear $C^{\ast }$-algebras and an example of a URS $Z$ for which the associated simple $C^{\ast }$-algebra is not exact and not even locally reflexive, in particular, it admits both a uniformly amenable trace and a nonuniformly amenable trace.

Review text

The author studies uniformly recurrent subgroups (URS). He shows that any URS \(Z\) of a finitely generated group is the stability system of a minimal \(Z\)-proper action. He also shows that for any sofic URS \(Z\) there is a \(Z\)-proper action admitting an invariant measure. He proves that for a URS \(Z\) all \(Z\)-proper actions admit an invariant measure if and only if \(Z\) is coamenable. The author considers also separable \(C^\ast\)-algebras associated with URS's. He proves that if a URS is generic then its \(C^ \ast\)-algebra is simple. At the end of paper he gives examples of exact and non-exact URS's.
