Abstract

The existence of non-Bernoullian actions with completely positive entropy is proved for a class of countable amenable groups which includes, in particular, a class of Abelian groups and groups with non-trivial finite subgroups. For this purpose, we apply a reverse version of the Rudolph-Weiss theorem.
