Equivalence on definition of Folner sequence












3












$begingroup$


$textbf{Definition 1.}$ Let ${F_n}_{n in mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of finite subsets of $mathbb{Z}^d$. We say that ${F_n}_{n in mathbb{N}}$ is a Folner sequence if for every $v in mathbb{Z}^d$, $lim_{n rightarrow +infty} frac{|(F_n + v) Delta F_n|}{|F_n|} = 0$.



$textbf{Definition 2.}$ Let ${F_n}_{n in mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of finite subsets of $mathbb{Z}^d$. We say that ${F_n}_{n in mathbb{N}}$ is a Folner sequence if $lim_{n rightarrow +infty} frac{|partial F_n|}{|F_n|} = 0$, where $partial F = {v in mathbb{Z}^d : v notin F, d(v, F) = 1}$.



What I did was the following:



$(1 implies 2)$ First of all, note that as ${F_n}_{n in mathbb{N}}$ is a Folner sequence in the sense of definition $1$, we have that $lim_{n rightarrow +infty} frac{|(F_n pm e_i) Delta F_n|}{|F_n|} = 0$, for all $i in {1, dots, d}$. Thus, $lim_{n rightarrow +infty} frac{|(F_n pm e_i) setminus F_n|}{|F_n|} = 0$, for all $i in {1, dots, d}$.



Now, note that $|partial F_n| leq |(F_n + e_1) setminus F_n| + dots + |(F_n + e_d) setminus F_n| + |(F_n - e_1) setminus F_n)| + dots + |(F_n - e_d) setminus F_n|$. The, by the remark made above, we have that



$lim_{n rightarrow +infty} frac{|partial F_n|}{|F_n|} = 0$.



Now, I have two questions:



1) Is it clear (and correct) the argument above?



2) I'm having some trouble to show that $2 implies 1$. Could someone help me?



Thanks in advance!

    1) it looks good to me. 2) you need to apply the definition multiple times. Each time move one step until you move "$v$" steps. (i.e. write $v=sum_{i=1}^d a_i e_i$ then move $a_i$ times in the $e_i$ direction for all $i$ each time the limit is zero so the sum of all limits will be zero).

Given $v$, pick a sequence $v_0=0,v_1,ldots, v_m=v$ such that $d(v_i,v_{i+1})=1$.



Now note that a point $xin(F_n+v)mathrel{Delta} F_n$ is either a point $xin F_n$ such that $x-vnotin F_n$ or vice versa. Thus in the sequence $x-v_0,x-v_1,ldots, x-v_m$, we encounter a switch form $in F_n$ to $notin F_n$ or vice versa. Thus to every point in $(F_n+v)mathrel{Delta} F_n$, we can associate an index $iin{0,ldots, m}$, a point in $delta F_n$, and an additional "bit" whether $xin F_n$ or $xin F_n+v$. We conclude
$$|(F_n+v)mathrel{Delta} F_n|le |delta F_n|cdot (m+1)cdot 2.$$

Given $v$, pick a sequence $v_0=0,v_1,ldots, v_m=v$ such that $d(v_i,v_{i+1})=1$.



Now note that a point $xin(F_n+v)mathrel{Delta} F_n$ is either a point $xin F_n$ such that $x-vnotin F_n$ or vice versa. Thus in the sequence $x-v_0,x-v_1,ldots, x-v_m$, we encounter a switch form $in F_n$ to $notin F_n$ or vice versa. Thus to every point in $(F_n+v)mathrel{Delta} F_n$, we can associate an index $iin{0,ldots, m}$, a point in $delta F_n$, and an additional "bit" whether $xin F_n$ or $xin F_n+v$. We conclude
$$|(F_n+v)mathrel{Delta} F_n|le |delta F_n|cdot (m+1)cdot 2.$$
