Abstract

For a left action SλXS\overset{\lambda}{\curvearrowright}X of a cancellative right amenable monoid SS on a discrete Abelian group XX, we construct its Ore localization GλXG\overset{\lambda^*}{\curvearrowright}X^*, where GG is the group of left fractions of SS; analogously, for a right action KρSK\overset{\rho}\curvearrowleft S on a compact space KK, we construct its Ore colocalization KρGK^*\overset{\rho^*}{\curvearrowleft} G. Both constructions preserve entropy, i.e., for the algebraic entropy halgh_{\mathrm{alg}} and for the topological entropy htoph_{\mathrm{top}} one has halg(λ)=halg(λ)h_{\mathrm{alg}}(\lambda)=h_{\mathrm{alg}}(\lambda^*) and htop(ρ)=htop(ρ)h_{\mathrm{top}}(\rho)=h_{\mathrm{top}}(\rho^*), respectively. Exploiting these constructions and the theory of quasi-tilings, we extend the Addition Theorem for htoph_{\mathrm{top}}, known for right actions of countable amenable groups on compact metrizable groups, to right actions KρSK\overset{\rho}{\curvearrowleft} S of cancellative right amenable monoids SS (with no restrictions on the cardinality) on arbitrary compact groups KK. When the compact group KK is Abelian, we prove that htop(ρ)h_{\mathrm{top}}(\rho) coincides with halg(ρ^)h_{\mathrm{alg}}(\hat{\rho}), where Sρ^XS\overset{\hat{\rho}}\curvearrowright X is the dual left action on the discrete Pontryagin dual X=K^X=\hat{K}, that is, a so-called Bridge Theorem. From the Addition Theorem for htoph_{\mathrm{top}} and the Bridge Theorem, we obtain an Addition Theorem for halgh_{\mathrm{alg}} for left actions SλXS\overset{\lambda}\curvearrowright X on discrete Abelian groups, so far known only under the hypotheses that either XX is torsion or SS is locally monotileable. The proofs substantially use the unified approach towards entropy based on the entropy of actions of cancellative right amenable monoids on appropriately defined normed monoids.
