Résumé

Let $\Gamma$ be an amenable group and $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space. Gromov pointed out that the von Neumann dimension of linear subspaces of $\ell^2(\Gamma;V)$ (with respect to $\Gamma$) can be obtained by looking at a growth factor for a dynamical (pseudo-)distance. This dynamical point of view (reminiscent of metric entropy) does not requires a Hilbertian structure. It is used in this article to associate to a $\Gamma$-invariant linear subspaces $Y$ of $\ell^p(\Gamma;V)$ a real positive number $\dlp Y$ (which is the von Neumann dimension when $p=2$). By analogy with von Neumann dimension, the properties of this quantity are explored to conclude that there can be no injective $\Gamma$-equivariant linear map of finite-type from $\ell^p(\Gamma;V) \to \ell^p(\Gamma; V')$ if $\dim V > \dim V'$. A generalization of the Ornstein-Weiss lemma is developed along the way.
