If $G$ is a nonabelian free group then $G$ has $2^{\\aleph_0}$ many continuous $G$-ergodic characteristic random subgroups. We also provide a complete classification of characteristic random subgroups of free abelian groups of countably infinite rank and elementary $p$-groups of countably infinite rank.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-04-15T14:39:00.000Z", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v3", "updated": "2015-05-30T20:42:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "free abelian groups", "geometric groups", "ergodic invariant random subgroups", "nonabelian free group", "countably infinite rank" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1402.3705B" } } }
