Let KKK be a subgroup of the homeomorphisms of the projective line P1=R∪{∞}\mathbf P^1 = \mathbb R \cup \{\infty\}P1=R∪{∞} contained in Monod's group H(Z)H(\mathbb Z)H(Z) (Monod.H ⊥, where ⊥ is the smallest subring of R\mathbb RR, namely Z\mathbb ZZ). Then KKK is amenable (Garrido.IsAmenable K) if and only if its action on P1\mathbf P^1P1 by evaluation is extensively amenable relative to R⊆P1\mathbb R \subseteq \mathbf P^1R⊆P1 (IsExtensivelyAmenableOn K (OnePoint ℝ) (Set.range (↑))).

Juschenko, Matte Bon, Monod and de la Salle, p. 23: “Theorem 6.4. A subgroup H1H_1H1​ of HHH is amenable if and only if H1↷RH_1 \curvearrowright \mathbf RH1​↷R is extensively amenable.” This is the theorem for the subgroups H1H_1H1​ that lie in H(Z)H(\mathbb Z)H(Z); the theorem as printed, for every subgroup of HHH, is ThompsonAmenability.isAmenable_iff_isExtensivelyAmenableOn_of_le_Hpp.

Route. From ThompsonAmenability.isAmenable_iff_isExtensivelyAmenableOn_P_bot_of_le_H_bot, which needs extensive amenability on the breakpoint set PZP_{\mathbb Z}PZ​ only: an invariant mean on the finite subsets of R\mathbb RR pushes forward along E↦E∩PZE \mapsto E \cap P_{\mathbb Z}E↦E∩PZ​ to one on the finite subsets of PZP_{\mathbb Z}PZ​, since KKK maps PZP_{\mathbb Z}PZ​ to itself. The other direction holds for every action of an amenable group.
