Non-Commutative Maximal Inequalities for State-Preserving Actions of amenable groups

In this article, we establish maximal inequalities and deduce ergodic theorems for state-preserving actions of amenable, locally compact, second-countable groups on tracial non-commutative $L^1$-spaces. As a further consequence, in combination with the Neveu decomposition, we obtain a stochastic ergodic theorem for amenable group actions.
