We study the behavior of probability measures under iteration of a surjective cellular automaton. We solve the following question in the negative: if the initial measure is ergodic and has full support, do all weak-* limit points of the…
We exhibit a Probabilistic Cellular Automaton (PCA) on the integers with an alphabet and a neighborhood of size 2 which is non-ergodic although it has a unique invariant measure. This answers by the negative an old open question on whether…
Suppose R is a finite commutative ring of prime characteristic, A is a finite R-module, M:=Z^D x N^E, and F is an R-linear cellular automaton on A^M. If mu is an F-invariant measure which is multiply shift-mixing in a certain way, then we…
Let $(X,\mu)$ be a standard probability space. An automorphism $T$ of $(X,\mu)$ has the weak Pinsker property if for every $\varepsilon > 0$ it has a splitting into a direct product of a Bernoulli shift and an automorphism of entropy less…
A deep analysis of the Lyapunov exponents, for stationary sequence of matrices going back to Furstenberg, for more general linear cocycles by Ledrappier and generalized to the context of non-linear cocycles by Avila and Viana, gives an…
We prove that the entropy map for countable Markov shifts of finite entropy is upper semi-continuous at ergodic measures. Note that the phase space is non-compact. Applications to systems that can be coded by these shifts, such as positive…
Let us consider the simplest model of one-dimensional probabilistic cellular automata (PCA). The cells are indexed by the integers, the alphabet is {0, 1}, and all the cells evolve synchronously. The new content of a cell is randomly…
The asymptotic behavior of a cellular automaton iterated on a random configuration is well described by its limit probability measure(s). In this paper, we characterize measures and sets of measures that can be reached as limit points after…
Two different notions of {\mu}-equicontinuity that apply to topological dynamical systems and probability measures were studied by Gilman (1987) and Huang-Lu-Ye (2011). One was used to classify measure preserving topological dynamical…
We prove that for some manifolds $M$ the set of robustly transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of $M$ with one-dimensional nonhyperbolic centre direction contains a $C^1$-open and dense subset of diffeomorphisms with nonhyperbolic…
This tutorial is about cellular automata that exhibit 'cold dynamics'. By this we mean zero entropy, stabilization of all orbits, trivial asymptotic dynamics, etc. These are purely transient irreversible dynamics, but they capture many…
We construct a family of shift spaces with almost specification and multiple measures of maximal entropy. This answers a question from Climenhaga and Thompson [Israel J. Math. 192 (2012), no. 2, 785--817]. Elaborating on our examples we…
For dynamical systems with the shadowing property, we provide a method of approximation of invariant measures by ergodic measures supported on odometers and their almost 1-1 extensions. For a topologically transitive system with the…
In this paper, we investigate some ergodic properties of $Z^{2}$-actions $T_{p,n}$ generated by an additive cellular automata and shift acting on the space of all doubly -infinitive sequences taking values in $Z_{m}$.
We add small random perturbations to a cellular automaton and consider the one-parameter family $(F_\epsilon)_{\epsilon>0}$ parameterized by $\epsilon$ where $\epsilon>0$ is the level of noise. The objective of the article is to study the…
This paper introduces a new measure-conjugacy invariant for actions of free groups. Using this invariant, it is shown that two Bernoulli shifts over a finitely generated free group are measurably conjugate if and only if their base measures…
We prove that a shift ergodic measure on a topologically mixing sub-shift is isomorphic to a Bernoulli shift whenever it is quasi invariant under permutations of finite number of coordinates. We prove also that Gibbs measures on…
In \cite{Ch91a} it was shown that the billiard ball map for the periodic Lorentz gas has infinite topological entropy. In this article we study the set of points with infinite Lyapunov exponents. Using the cell structure developed in…
We study qualitative properties of two-dimensional freezing cellular automata with a binary state set initialized on a random configuration. If the automaton is also monotone, the setting is equivalent to bootstrap percolation. We explore…
In this paper we prove that for an ergodic hyperbolic measure $\omega$ of a $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphism $f$ on a Riemannian manifold $M$, there is an $\omega$-full measured set $\widetilde{\Lambda}$ such that for every invariant…
