“…Similar connections between inner amenability and central sequences were later found by Choda [12] and Jones and Schmidt [21] in the context of ergodic theory. These connections to operator algebras and ergodic theory have continued to provide a rich context and motivation for the study of inner amenability; see, e.g., [38,23,25,24,11,26,27,37,19,33,15,20,3,22,28]. Perhaps because of this, inner amenability has been studied primarily by virtue of its relevance to these two fields (with a few exceptions, e.g., [1,2,36,18]).…”
