Abstract

We define ‘slow’ entropy invariants for ℤd actions on infinite measure spaces, which measure growth of itineraries at subexponential scales. We use this notion to construct infinite-measure preserving ℤ2 actions which cannot be realized as a group of diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold preserving a Borel measure, in contrast to the situation for ℤ actions, where every infinite-measure preserving action can be realized in this way.
