Abstract
Abstract We show that if G is an amenable group and H is a hyperbolic group, then the free product
$G\ast H$
is weakly amenable. A key ingredient in the proof is the fact that
$G\ast H$
is orbit equivalent to
$\mathbb{Z}\ast H$

期刊介绍:
Glasgow Mathematical Journal publishes original research papers in any branch of pure and applied mathematics. An international journal, its policy is to feature a wide variety of research areas, which in recent issues have included ring theory, group theory, functional analysis, combinatorics, differential equations, differential geometry, number theory, algebraic topology, and the application of such methods in applied mathematics.
The journal has a web-based submission system for articles. For details of how to to upload your paper see GMJ - Online Submission Guidelines or go directly to the submission site.
