Quantum cellular automata (QCAs) are automorphisms of tensor product algebras that preserve locality, with local quantum circuits as a simple example. We study approximate QCAs, where the locality condition is only satisfied up to a small…

In this paper we study the topological and metric directional entropy of $\mathbb{Z}^2$-actions by generated additive cellular automata (CA hereafter), defined by a local rule $f[l, r]$, $l, r\in \mathbb{Z}$, $l\leq r$, i.e. the maps…

We investigate quantum cellular automata (QCA) on one-dimensional spin systems defined over a subalgebra of the full local operator algebra - the symmetric subalgebra under a finite Abelian group symmetry $G$. For systems where each site…

This paper explores cellular automata (CA) constructed from Yang-Baxter maps over finite fields $F_{2^n}$. We define $R$-matrices using a map $f$ on $F_{2^n}$ and establish necessary and sufficient conditions for $f$ to satisfy the…

Many dynamical systems can be naturally represented as `Bratteli-Vershik' (or `adic') systems, which provide an appealing combinatorial description of their dynamics. If an adic system X satisfies two technical conditions (`focus' and…

If M is a monoid (e.g. the lattice Z^D), and A is an abelian group, then A^M is a compact abelian group; a linear cellular automaton (LCA) is a continuous endomorphism F:A^M --> A^M that commutes with all shift maps. If F is diffusive, and…

In [6], a constraint on invariant measures of bi-permutative cellular automata has been observed: fixed values at the positive indices determine almost-surely a uniform conditional probability on the subset of values of positive conditional…

We study conditions on automorphisms of Boolean algebras of the form $P(\lambda)/I_\kappa$ (where $\lambda$ is an uncountable cardinal and $I_\kappa$ is the ideal of sets of cardinality less than $\kappa$) which allow one to conclude that a…

Let M=Z^D be a D-dimensional lattice, and let A be an abelian group. A^M is then a compact abelian group; a `linear cellular automaton' (LCA) is a topological group endomorphism \Phi:A^M --> A^M that commutes with all shift maps. Suppose…
