Non-strong ergodicity of canonical actions of the Thompson groups

Abstract

We show that the canonical actions of the Thompson group V and its generalizations on the Cantor set are not strongly ergodic. This implies that the associated crossed product von Neumann algebras are not full. This also yields a non-embedding result for the Thompson groups.
