In this work, we show that if $f$ is a uniformly continuous map defined over a Polish metric space, then the set of $f$-invariant measures with zero metric entropy is a $G_\delta$ set (in the weak topology). In particular, this set is…

We study the uniform ergodicity property for non-invertible topological and measure-preserving dynamical systems. It is shown that for topological dynamical systems uniform ergodicity is equivalent to eventually periodicity and that for…

Let $d\in {\mathbb N}$ and $p_i$ be an integral polynomial with $p_i(0)=0$, $1\le i\le d$. It is shown that if $S$ is piecewise syndetic in $\mathbb Z$, then $$\{(m,n)\in{\mathbb Z}^2: m+p_1(n),\ldots,m+p_d(n)\in S\}$$ is piecewise syndetic…

Refractive index is a fundamental electromagnetic (EM) parameter that can describe photonic continuous media (PCM) traditionally as either transparency or opacity. Recently, topological theory offers a new set of phases to characterize PCM…

We prove that, on connected compact manifolds, both C1-generic conservative diffeomorphisms and C1-generic transitive diffeomorphisms are topologically mixing. This is obtained through a description of the periods of a homoclinic class and…

Co-compact entropy is introduced as an invariant of topological conjugation for perfect mappings defined on any Hausdorff space(compactness and metrizability not necessarily required). This is achieved through the consideration of…

We construct a family of partially hyperbolic skew-product diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^3$ that are robustly transitive and admitting two physical measures with intermingled basins. In particularly, all these diffeomorphisms are not…

In connection with recent discussion of topological order and topological phase transitions in quantum systems, we reexamine circumstances that lead to the appearance of a topological glass in certain classical lattice spin models. Local…

We develop a folding approach to study two-dimensional symmetry-enriched topological (SET) phases with the mirror reflection symmetry. Our folding approach significantly transforms the mirror SETs, such that their properties can be…

Let $T$ be a compact, metrisable and strongly countable-dimensional topological space. Let $\mathcal{M}^T$ be the set of all metrics $d$ on $T$ compatible with its topology, and equip $\mathcal{M}^T$ with the topology of uniform…

Topological invariants, rigorously defined only in the thermodynamic limit, have been generalized to topological indicators applicable to finite-size disordered systems. However, in many experimentally relevant situations, such as…

We consider continuous maps of the interval which preserve the Lebesgue measure. Except for the identity map or $1 - \id$ all such maps have topological entropy at least $\log2/2$ and generically they have infinite topological entropy. In…

Topology forms a cornerstone in modern condensed matter and statistical physics, offering a new framework to classify the phases and phase transitions beyond the traditional Landau paradigm. However, it is widely believed that topological…

We present the new concept of photonic alloy as a non-periodic topological material. By mixing non-magnetized and magnetized rods in a non-periodic 2D photonic crystal configuration, we realized photonic alloys in the microwave regime. Our…

The article presents a new perspective on the isomorphism problem for non-ergodic measure-preserving dynamical systems with discrete spectrum which is based on the connection between ergodic theory and topological dynamics constituted by…

The central idea of metamaterials and metaoptics is that, besides their base materials, the geometry of structures offers a broad extra dimension to explore for exotic functionalities. Here, we discover that the topology of structures…

We prove that all ($\alpha$-$\beta$)-shifts with $0\le \alpha<1$ and $\beta>2$ are saturated, that is, for any invariant measure, the topological entropy of the set of generic points coincides with the metric entropy.

A striking feature of 3 dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TIs) is the theoretically expected topological magneto-electric (TME) effect, which gives rise to additional terms in Maxwell's laws of electromagnetism with an universal…

We study weak mixing of all orders for weakly mixing measure preserving dynamical systems, where the dynamics is given by the action of an abelian second countable topological group which has an invariant measure under the group operation.…

We study homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces whose restriction to the nonwandering set has the pseudo-orbit tracing property. We prove that if there are positively expansive measures, then the topological entropy is positive. Some short…
