contents Let $G$ be an infinite residually finite group. We show that for every minimal equicontinuous Cantor system $(Z,G)$ with a free orbit, and for every minimal extension $(Y,G)$ of $(Z,G)$, there exist a minimal almost 1-1 extension $(X,G)$ of $(Z,G)$ and a Borel equivariant map $ψ:Y\to X$ that induces an affine bijection $ψ^*$ between $M(Y,G)$ and $M(X,G)$, the spaces of invariant probability measures of $(Y,G)$ and $(X,G)$, respectively. If $Y$ is a Cantor set, then $(Y,G)$ and $(X,G)$ are Borel isomorphic, i.e., $ψ^*$ is also a homeomorphism. As an application, we show that the family of Toeplitz subshifts is a test for amenability for residually finite groups, i.e., a residually finite group $G$ is amenable if and only if every Toeplitz $G$-subshift has invariant probability measures.

Let $G$ be an infinite residually finite group. We show that for every minimal equicontinuous Cantor system $(Z,G)$ with a free orbit, and for every minimal extension $(Y,G)$ of $(Z,G)$, there exist a minimal almost 1-1 extension $(X,G)$ of $(Z,G)$ and a Borel equivariant map $ψ:Y\to X$ that induces an affine bijection $ψ^*$ between $M(Y,G)$ and $M(X,G)$, the spaces of invariant probability measures of $(Y,G)$ and $(X,G)$, respectively. If $Y$ is a Cantor set, then $(Y,G)$ and $(X,G)$ are Borel isomorphic, i.e., $ψ^*$ is also a homeomorphism. As an application, we show that the family of Toeplitz subshifts is a test for amenability for residually finite groups, i.e., a residually finite group $G$ is amenable if and only if every Toeplitz $G$-subshift has invariant probability measures.
