Abstract

Let (G,X) be a transformationgroup where the groupG does not necessarily act freely on the space X. We investigate the extent to which the action of G may fail to be proper. Stability subgroups are used to define new notions of strength of convergence in the orbit space and of measure accumulation along orbits. By using the representation theory of the associated crossed product C¿-algebra, we show that these notions are equivalent under certain conditions.
