Abstract
In this paper we study the question of which countable amenable ergodic equivalence relations can be realized as C∞ group actions on manifolds. It has been proved that every countable equivalence relation which is amenable, nonsingular, and ergodic is orbit equivalent to an ergodic integer action on a measure space [CFW]. Katznelson showed that any ITPFI ergodic equivalence relation is orbit equivalent to some C∞ diffeomorphism of the circle. He also proved that every ergodic C^3 diffeomorphism of the circle generates an amenable ITPFI equivalence relation [Ka].
