Abstract: We show that every probability-measure-preserving action of a countable amenable group G can be tiled, modulo a null set, using finitely many finite subsets of G ("shapes") with prescribed approximate invariance so that the collection of tiling centers for each shape is Borel. This is a dynamical version of the Downarowicz--Huczek--Zhang tiling theorem for countable amenable groups and strengthens the Ornstein--Weiss Rokhlin lemma. As an application we prove that, for every countably infinite amenable group G, the crossed product of a generic free minimal action of G on the Cantor set is Z-stable.

Review text

The present paper aims to prove a dynamical version of the Duwnarowicz-Huczek-Zhang tiling theorem for countable amenable groups [\textit{T. Downarowicz} and \textit{D. Huczek}, Bull. Pol. Acad. Sci., Math. 66, No. 1, 45--55 (2018; Zbl 1457.37026)]. Amenability appears in ergodic theory as well as in operator algebras and plays an important role in the theory of orbit equivalence. The key tool to apply amenability to dynamics is the Rokhlin lemma by \textit{D. S. Ornstein} and \textit{B. Weiss} [J. Anal. Math. 48, 1--141 (1987; Zbl 0637.28015)] and the Downarowicz-Huczek-Zhang characterization of amenability which guarantees the existence of tilings of the group by translates of finitely many Følner sets. The main theorem of this paper is a dynamical version of the above result. First the authors establish a proper variant of the Ornstein-Weiss-Rokhlin lemma, then they start with a variation of the Lyons-Nazarov theorem [\textit{R. Lyons} and \textit{F. Nazarov}, Eur. J. Comb. 32, No. 7, 1115--1125 (2011; Zbl 1229.05115)]. As an application a genericity result for free minimal actions on the Cantor set is proved.
