A dichotomy in orbit-growth for commuting automorphisms

Dynamical Systems 2010-06-01 v1

Abstract

We consider asymptotic orbit-counting problems for certain expansive actions by commuting automorphisms of compact groups. A dichotomy is found between systems with asymptotically more periodic orbits than the topological entropy predicts, and those for which there is no excess of periodic orbits.
