Abstract

For a set Γ\Gamma, a function λ:ΓΓ\lambda:\Gamma\to \Gamma and a non-trivial abelian group KK, the generalized shift σλ:KΓKΓ\sigma_\lambda:K^\Gamma\to K^\Gamma is defined by (xi)iΓ(xλ(i))iΓ(x_i)_{i\in \Gamma}\mapsto (x_{\lambda(i)})_{i\in\Gamma}. In this paper we compute the algebraic entropy of σλ\sigma_\lambda; it is either zero or infinite, depending exclusively on the properties of λ\lambda.
