Abstract

A dynamical system is a pair (X,G)(X,G), where XX is a compact metrizable space and GG is a countable group acting by homeomorphisms of XX. An endomorphism of (X,G)(X,G) is a continuous selfmap of XX which commutes with the action of GG. One says that a dynamical system (X,G)(X,G) is surjunctive provided that every injective endomorphism of (X,G)(X,G) is surjective (and therefore is a homeomorphism). We show that when GG is sofic, every expansive dynamical system (X,G)(X,G) with nonnegative sofic topological entropy and satisfying the weak specification and the strong topological Markov properties, is surjunctive.
