Gao, Jackson, and Seward (see arXiv:1201.0513) proved that every countably infinite group $\Gamma$ admits a nonempty free subshift $X \subseteq \{0,1\}^\Gamma$. Furthermore, a theorem of Seward and Tucker-Drob (see arXiv:1402.4184) implies…

We prove that every infinite minimal subshift with word complexity $p(q)$ satisfying $\limsup p(q)/q < 3/2$ is measure-theoretically isomorphic to its maximal equicontinuous factor; in particular, it has measurably discrete spectrum. Among…

By the work of Brodzki-Niblo-Nowak-Wright and Monod, topological amenability of a continuous group action can be characterized using uniformly finite homology groups or bounded cohomology groups associated to this action. We show that…

Given an action of a complex reductive Lie group G on a normal variety X, we show that every analytically Zariski-open subset of X admitting an analytic Hilbert quotient with projective quotient space is given as the set of semistable…

We classify certain sofic shifts (the irreducible Point Extension Type, or PET, sofic shifts) up to flow equivalence, using invariants of the canonical Fischer cover. There are two main ingredients: (1) An extension theorem, for extending…

We consider homogeneous spaces of Lie groups with compact stabilizer subgroups of two types: those with integrable invariant distributions and those with geodesic orbit invariant Riemannian metrics. The latter means that for an arbitrary…

Let $U$ be a compact semisimple Lie group with complexification $G$ and associated Cartan involution $\Theta$. Let $\nu$ be an involutive complex Lie group automorphism of $G$ commuting with $\Theta$, and consider the associated semisimple…

Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact sigma-compact…

We introduce a class of subshifts governed by finitely many two-sided infinite words. We call these words leading sequences. We show that any locally constant cocycle over such a subshift is uniform. From this we obtain Cantor spectrum of…

We show that given a compact minimal system $(X,g)$ and an element $h$ of the topological full group $\tau[g]$ of $g$, then the infinite orbits of $h$ admit a locally constant orientation with respect to the orbits of $g$. We use this to…

In this article, we prove that if a finitely generated group $G$ is not torsion then a necessary and sufficient condition for every full shift over $G$ has (continuous) cocycle superrigidity is that $G$ has one end. It is a topological…

We investigate tameness of Toeplitz shifts. By introducing the notion of extended Bratteli-Vershik diagrams, we show that such shifts with finite Toeplitz rank are tame if and only if there are at most countably many orbits of singular…

Let $X$ be a measure space and $T:X\to X$ a measurable transformation. For any measurable $E\subseteq X$ and $x\in E$, the possibly infinite return time is $n_E(x):=\inf\{n>0: T^n x\in E\}$. If $T$ is an ergodic tranformation of the…

In this paper we show that, for topological dynamical systems with a dense set (in the weak topology) of periodic measures, a typical (in Baire's sense) invariant measure has, for each $q>0$, zero lower $q$-generalized fractal dimension.…

Let $G$ be a linear connected complex reductive Lie group. The purpose of this paper is to give explicit symplectic isomorphisms from twisted cotangent bundles of the complex generalized flag varieties, whose transition functions are given…

We consider the problem of when a symbolic dynamical system supports a Borel probability measure that is invariant under every element of its automorphism group. It follows readily from a classical result of Parry that the full shift on…

We prove that, whenever $G$ is a Polish group with metrizable universal minimal flow $M(G)$, there exists a comeagre orbit in $M(G)$. It then follows that there exists an extremely amenable, closed, coprecompact $G^*$ of $G$ such that $M(G)…

Let $H$ be the space of all Hermitian matrices of infinite order and $U(\infty)$ be the inductive limit of the chain $U(1)\subset U(2)\subset...$ of compact unitary groups. The group $U(\infty)$ operates on the space $H$ by conjugations,…

We show that a minimal dynamical system $(X,\mathbb{Z})$ on a compact metric $X$ with mdim$X=d$ admits for every natural $k>d$ an equivariant map to the shift $([0,1]^k)^{\mathbb{Z}}$ such that each fiber of this map contains at most…

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group and $\text{Sub}_G$ be the space of closed subgroups of $G$ equipped with the Chabauty topology. In this article, we investigate the existence of invariant random subgroups of $G$ supported on various orbits…
