The time variation of entropy, as an alternative to the variance, is proposed as a measure of the diffusion rate. It is shown that for linear and time-translationally invariant systems having a large-time limit for the density, at large…

Coarse geometry studies metric spaces on the large scale. Our goal here is to study dynamics from a coarse point of view. To this end we introduce a coarse version of topological entropy, suitable for unbounded metric spaces, consistent…

Let $f : X\to X$ be a dominating meromorphic map on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ of dimension $k$. We extend the notion of topological entropy $h^l_{\mathrm{top}}(f)$ for the action of $f$ on (local) analytic sets of dimension $0\leq l…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space, $f:X \mapsto X$ be a continuous map with the specification property, and $\varphi: X \mapsto \IR$ be a continuous function. We prove a variational principle for topological pressure (in the sense of…

This paper has a flaw in an argument that uses the weak-* convergence of measures. The paper was replaced by "Entropy and Its Variational Principle for Locally Compact Metrizable Systems", by the same authors.

Topological entropy is a widely studied indicator of chaos in topological dynamics. Here we give a generalized definition of topological entropy which may be applied to set-valued functions. We demonstrate that some of the well-known…

Ovadia and Rodriguez-Hertz defined neutralized Bowen open ball as $$B_n(x,e^{-n\epsilon})=\{y\in X: d(T^jx, T^jy)<e^{-n\epsilon}, \forall 0\leq j\leq n-1\}.$$ We introduce the notion of neutralized Bowen topological entropy of subsets by…

Spacetime geometries dual to arbitrary fluid flows in strongly coupled N=4 super Yang Mills theory have recently been constructed perturbatively in the long wavelength limit. We demonstrate that these geometries all have regular event…

We develop a variational method for constructing positive entropy invariant measures of Lagrangian systems without assuming transversal intersections of stable and unstable manifolds, and without restrictions to the size of non-integrable…

Let $G$ be an infinite countable discrete amenable group. For any $G$-action on a compact metric space $(X,\rho)$, it turns out that if the action has positive topological entropy, then for any sequence $\{s_i\}_{i=1}^{+\infty}$ with…

Borrowing the idea of topological pressure determining measure-theoretical entropy in topological dynamical systems, we establish a variational principle for upper metric mean dimension with potential in terms of upper measure-theoretical…

Preserving biodiversity and ecosystem stability is a challenge that can be pursued through modern statistical mechanics modeling. Here we introduce a variational maximum entropy-based algorithm to evaluate the entropy in a minimal ecosystem…

We investigate the concept of entropy in probabilistic theories more general than quantum mechanics, with particular reference to the notion of information causality recently proposed by Pawlowski et. al. (arXiv:0905.2992). We consider two…

For higher derivative theories of gravity, it is possible to write the action in terms of auxiliary fields. In such case, one can show that the equations of motion for both actions are equivalent and hence the actions themselves. In this…

This text is an expanded series of lecture notes based on a 5-hour course given at the workshop entitled "Workshop for young researchers: Groups acting on manifolds" held in Teres\'opolis, Brazil in June 2016. The course introduced a number…

We study the Furstenberg-entropy realization problem for stationary actions. It is shown that for finitely supported probability measures on free groups, any a-priori possible entropy value can be realized as the entropy of an ergodic…

We prove the explicit formula for sofic and Rokhlin entropy of actions arising from some class of Gibbs measures. It provides a new set of examples with sofic entropy independent of sofic approximations. It is particularilly interresting,…
