Abstract

We prove that any countable non-amenable group $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ admits a free, minimal, amenable, purely infinite action on the non-compact Cantor set. This answers a question of Kellerhals, Monod and Rørdam [Non-supramenable groups acting on locally compact spaces. Doc. Math.18 (2013), 1597–1626].
