An exotic group as limit of finite special linear groups
Abstract
We consider the Polish group obtained as the rank-completion of an inductive limit of finite special linear groups. This Polish group is topologically simple modulo its center, it is extremely amenable and has no non-trivial strongly continuous unitary representation on a Hilbert space.
