Abstract

For a homeomorphism T ⁣:XXT \colon X \to X of a compact metric space XX, the stabilized automorphism group Aut()(T)\text{Aut}^{(\infty)}(T) consists of all self-homeomorphisms of XX which commute with some power of TT. Motivated by the study of these groups in the context of shifts of finite type, we introduce a certain entropy for groups called local P\mathcal{P} entropy. We show that when (X,T)(X,T) is a non-trivial mixing shift of finite type, the local P\mathcal{P} entropy of the group Aut()(T)\text{Aut}^{(\infty)}(T) is determined by the topological entropy of (X,T)(X,T). We use this to give a complete classification of the isomorphism type of the stabilized automorphism groups of full shifts.
