Abstract

A minimal equicontinuous action of a group GG on a Stone space XX is called a subodometer. If such a subodometer arises from a group rotation, we refer to it as an odometer. For subodometers (X,G)(X,G) we show that the hyperspace H(X)\mathcal{H}(X) - given by all closed subsets of XX and the Vietoris topology - decomposes into subodometers. We show that an infinite subodometer is an odometer if and only if H(X)\mathcal{H}(X) decomposes into factors of (X,G)(X,G). Similarly, we consider M(X)\mathcal{M}(X), the space of regular Borel probability measures equipped with the weak-* topology. We show that for a subodometer (X,G)(X,G) also the connected space M(X)\mathcal{M}(X) decomposes into subodometers. We prove that an infinite subodometer (X,G)(X,G) is an odometer if and only if M(X)\mathcal{M}(X) decomposes into factors of (X,G)(X,G). For this, we study different notions of regular recurrence. Furthermore, we study the disjointness of minimal actions to subodometers and show that this disjointness can be detected from the pairwise disjointness of finite factors. Using this we prove that a minimal action is disjoint from all subodometers if and only if it has a connected maximal equicontinuous factor.
