AbstractNathanial Brown [Topological dynamical systems associated to ${\mathit{II}}_{1} $-factors. Adv. Math. 227(4), 1665–1699] introduced a convex-like structure on the set of unitary equivalence classes of unital *-homomorphisms of a separable type ${\mathit{II}}_{1} $ factor into ${R}^{\omega } $ (ultrapower of the hyperfinite factor). The goal of this paper is to introduce such a structure on the set of sofic representations of groups. We prove that if the commutant of a representation acts ergodically on the Loeb measure space then that representation is an extreme point.
