abstract

We construct the first examples of residually finite amenable groups that are not Hilbert-Schmidt (HS) stable. We construct finitely generated, class 3 nilpotent by cyclic examples and solvable linear finitely presented examples. This also provides the first examples of amenable groups that are very flexibly HS-stable but not flexibly HS-stable and the first examples of residually finite amenable groups that are not locally HS-stable. Along the way we exhibit (necessarily not-finitely-generated) class 2 nilpotent groups $G = A\rtimes \Z$ with $A$ abelian such that the periodic points of the dual action are dense but it does not admit dense periodic measures. Finally we use the Tikuisis-White-Winter theorem to show all of the examples are not even operator-HS-stable; they admit operator norm almost homomorphisms that can not be HS-perturbed to true homomorphisms.

  1. $\mathbb{Z}^2$ is flexibly stable in the operator norm

    math.OA 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Z² is flexibly stable in the operator norm: almost-commuting unitary pairs admit commuting corrections after an o(d)-dimensional enlargement, making flexible stability strictly weaker than stability for the first time.

  2. Density of finitely supported invariant measures for automorphisms of compact abelian groups

    math.DS 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Density of finitely supported invariant measures holds for all automorphisms of compact abelian groups with the descending chain condition.
