Abstract

The absorption theorem is the main result in this chapter and is the key tool we will use to classify up to orbit equivalence minimal AF-equivalence relations and étale equivalence relations associated to minimal actions on the Cantor set of finitely generated abelian groups. This key result shows that a “small” extension of a minimal AF-equivalence relation is orbit equivalent to the original one.
