The theorem states that, on the type F of Thompson-group candidates, there exists a group structure whose multiplication is composition of maps and which has no invariant mean. Here F consists of homeomorphisms f of the unit interval [0,1] that are strictly increasing and have dyadic piecewise-linear pieces: there is a finite partition of [0,1] by strictly increasing knots, starting at 0 and ending at 1, all of them dyadic rationals k/2^n, such that on each piece f is affine with slope 2^e for some integer e. The group structure is required to satisfy (hg)(x) = h(g(x)) for all h, g in F and all x in [0,1]. An invariant mean on a group G is a real-linear functional on the space of bounded real-valued functions on G (the sup-norm space ℓ^∞(G)) that is nonnegative on every pointwise nonnegative function, sends the constant function 1 to 1, and is left invariant, meaning its value on the function g ↦ f(hg) equals its value on f for every h in G and bounded f. The conclusion is that no such invariant mean exists for F, so F with this composition group structure is nonamenable.
