Strongly outer actions of certain torsion-free amenable groups on the Razak–Jacelon algebra

Let $\mathfrak{C}$ be the smallest class of countable discrete groups with the following properties: (i) $\mathfrak{C}$ contains the trivial group, (ii) $\mathfrak{C}$ is closed under isomorphisms, countable increasing unions and extensions by $\mathbb{Z}$ . Note that $\mathfrak{C}$ contains all countable discrete torsion-free abelian groups and poly- $\mathbb{Z}$ groups. Also, $\mathfrak{C}$ is a subclass of the class of countable discrete torsion-free elementary amenable groups. In this article, we show that if $\Gamma\in \mathfrak{C}$ , then all strongly outer actions of Γ on the Razak–Jacelon algebra $\mathcal{W}$ are cocycle conjugate to each other. This can be regarded as an analogous result of Szabó’s result for strongly self-absorbing C $^*$ -algebras.
