Given a real number $ \beta > 1$, we study the associated $ (-\beta)$-shift introduced by S. Ito and T. Sadahiro. We compares some aspects of the $(-\beta)$-shift to the $\beta$-shift. When the expansion in base $ -\beta $ of $…

In the following text for arbitrary $X$ with at least two elements, nonempty set $\Gamma$ and self-map $\varphi:\Gamma\to\Gamma$ we prove the set-theoretical entropy of generalized shift $\sigma_\varphi:X^\Gamma\to X^\Gamma$…

Subshifts are sets of colorings of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ defined by families of forbidden patterns. In a given subshift, the extender set of a finite pattern is the set of all its admissible completions. Since soficity of $\mathbb{Z}$ subshifts is…

This is the first part in a series in which sofic entropy theory is generalized to class-bijective extensions of sofic groupoids. Here we define topological and measure entropy and prove invariance. We also establish the variational…

Let $\Gamma$ be a sofic group with a copy of $\mathbb{Z}$ in its center. We construct an uncountable family of pairwise nonisomorphic measure-preserving $\Gamma$ actions with completely positive entropy, none of which is a factor of a…

The Markov-Dyck shifts arise from finite directed graphs. An expression for the zeta function of a Markov-Dyck shift is given. The derivation of this expression is based on a formula in Keller (G. Keller, {\it Circular codes, loop counting,…

A new functional for the entropy that is asymptotically correct both in the high and low density limits is proposed. The new form is [ S=S^{(id)}+S^{(ln)}+S^{(r)}+S^{(c)} ] where the new term S^{(c)} depends on the p-bodies density…

Let $\mathbf{K}$ be a field and $\phi$, $\mathbf{f} = (f_1, \ldots, f_s)$ in $\mathbf{K}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ be multivariate polynomials (with $s < n$) invariant under the action of $\mathcal{S}_n$, the group of permutations of $\{1, \dots,…

We introduce an algorithm to compute the functions belonging to a suitable set ${\mathscr F}$ defined as follows: $f\in {\mathscr F}$ means that $f(s,x)$, $s\in A\subset {\mathbb R}$ being fixed and $x>0$, has a power series expansion…

We introduce "puzzles of quasi-finite type" which are the counterparts of our subshifts of quasi-finite type (Invent. Math. 159 (2005)) in the setting of combinatorial puzzles as defined in complex dynamics. We are able to analyze these…

Associated to any orthogonal representation of a countable discrete group is an probability measure-preserving action called the Gaussian action. Using the Polish model formalism we developed before, we compute the entropy (in the sense of…

Let $\Gamma$ be a sofic group, $\Sigma$ be a sofic approximation sequence of $\Gamma$ and $X$ be a $\Gamma$-subshift with nonnegative sofic topological entropy with respect to $\Sigma$. Further assume that $X$ is a shift of finite type, or…

Given a countable sofic group $\Gamma$, a finite alphabet $A$, a subshift $X \subseteq A^\Gamma$, and a potential $\phi: X \to \mathbb{R}$, we give sufficient conditions on $X$ and $\phi$ for expressing, in the uniqueness regime, the sofic…

We study the computational and structural aspects of countable two-dimensional SFTs and other subshifts. Our main focus is on the topological derivatives and subpattern posets of these objects, and our main results are constructions of…

We continue our study of the outer Pinsker factor for probability measure-preserving actions of sofic groups. Using the notion of doubly quenched convergence developed by Austin, we prove that in many cases the outer Pinsker factor of a…

We study a family of piecewise expanding maps on the plane, generated by composition of a rotation and an expansive similitude of expansion constant $\beta$. We give two constants $B_1$ and $B_2$ depending only on the fundamental domain…

We study the dynamical properties of certain shift spaces. To help study these properties we introduce two new classes of shifts, namely boundedly supermultiplicative (BSM) shifts and balanced shifts. It turns out that any almost specified…

For an analytic and univalent function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$, the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ are defined by $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}= 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}…

In 1987, Ornstein and Weiss discovered that the Bernoulli $2$-shift over the rank two free group factors onto the seemingly larger Bernoulli $4$-shift. With the recent creation of an entropy theory for actions of sofic groups (in particular…

For an analytic family P_s of polynomials in n variables (depending on a complex number s, and defined in a neighborhood of s = 0), there is defined a monodromy transformation h of the zero level set V_s= {P_s=0} for s different from 0,…
