Résumé
Abstract

Nous montrons que les groupes de lacets et de chemins à énergie finie (c.à.d. de classe $H^{1}$ de Sobolev) à valeurs dans un groupe de Lie compact et connexe, ainsi que leurs extensions centrales, satisfont une version de la moyennabilité : ils admettent une moyenne invariante à gauche sur l’espace de fonctions bornées uniformément continues par rapport a une métrique invariante à gauche. Chaque représentation unitaire continue, $π$ , d’un tel groupe (que nous disons d’être “moyennable en biais”) possède un état sur $B (ℋ_{π})$ invariant sous conjugaison.

We show that the groups of finite energy loops and paths (that is, those of Sobolev class $H^{1}$ ) with values in a compact connected Lie group, as well as their central extensions, satisfy an amenability-like property: they admit a left-invariant mean on the space of bounded functions uniformly continuous with regard to a left-invariant metric. Every strongly continuous unitary representation $π$ of such a group (which we call skew-amenable) has a conjugation-invariant state on $B (ℋ_{π})$ .
