The paper contains the proof of the fact that every solvable locally compact separable group is the range of a cocycle of an ergodic automorphism. The proof is based on the theory of representations of canonical anticommutation relations and the orbit theory of dynamical systems. The slight generalization of reasoning shows further that this result holds for amenable Lie groups as well and can be also extended to almost connected amenable locally compact separable groups.
