We study the locally compact abelian groups in the class $\mathfrak E_{<\infty}$, that is, having only continuous endomorphisms of finite topological entropy, and in its subclass $\mathfrak E_0$, that is, having all continuous endomorphisms…

We give a new type of sufficient condition for the existence of measures with maximal entropy for an interval map $f$, using some non-uniform hyperbolicity to compensate for a lack of smoothness of $f$. More precisely, if the topological…

In the present paper, we introduce a natural extension of AKM-topological entropy for noncompact spaces and prove a variational principle which states that the topological entropy, the supremum of the measure theoretical entropies and the…

Local and category-theoretical entropies associated with an endomorphism of finite length (i.e., with zero-dimensional closed fiber) of a commutative Noetherian local ring are compared. Local entropy is shown to be less than or equal to…

We prove that every self-homeomorphism $h : K_s \to K_s$ on the inverse limit space $K_s$ of the tent map $T_s$ with slope $s \in (\sqrt 2, 2]$ has topological entropy $\htop(h) = |R| \log s$, where $R \in \Z$ is such that $h$ and…

Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 2$. This paper concerns to the validity of the optimal Riemannian $L^1$-Entropy inequality \[ {\bf Ent}_{dv_g}(u) \leq n \log \left(A_{opt} \|D u\|_{BV(M)} +…

A convenient measure of a map or flow's chaotic action is the topological entropy. In many cases, the entropy has a homological origin: it is forced by the topology of the space. For example, in simple toral maps, the topological entropy is…

Let $G$ be a countable discrete amenable group which acts continuously on a compact metric space $X$ and let $\mu$ be an ergodic $G-$invariant Borel probability measure on $X$. For a fixed tempered F{\o}lner sequence $\{F_n\}$ in $G$ with…

Entropy rate is a real valued functional on the space of discrete random sources which lacks a closed formula even for subclasses of sources which have intuitive parameterizations. A good way to overcome this problem is to examine its…

The Hopf conjecture states that an even-dimensional, positively curved Riemannian manifold has positive Euler characteristic. We prove this conjecture under the additional assumption that a torus acts by isometries and has dimension bounded…

We develop a forcing theory of topological entropy for Reeb flows in dimension $3$. A transverse link $L$ in a closed contact $3$-manifold $(Y,\xi)$ is said to force topological entropy if $(Y,\xi)$ admits a Reeb flow with vanishing…

Let $M$ be a locally symmetric irreducible closed manifold of dimension $\ge 3$. A result of Borel [Bo] combined with Mostow rigidity imply that there exists a finite group $G = G(M)$ such that any finite subgroup of $\text{Homeo}^+(M)$ is…

In this paper we explore new relations between Algebraic Topology and the theory of Hopf Algebras. For an arbitrary topological space $X$, the loop space homology $H_*(\Omega\Sigma X; \coefZ)$ is a Hopf algebra. We introduce a new homotopy…

The topological entropy of a continuous self-map of a compact metric space can be defined in several distinct ways; when the space is not assumed compact, these definitions can lead to distinct invariants. The original, purely topological…

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…

Let $f_{0,\infty}=\{f_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of continuous self-maps on a compact metric space $X$. Firstly, we obtain the relations between topological sequence entropy of a nonautonomous dynamical system $(X,f_{0,\infty})$ and…

We define a notion of entropy for an infinite family $\mathcal{C}$ of measurable sets in a probability space. We show that the mean ergodic theorem holds uniformly for $\mathcal{C}$ under every ergodic transformation if and only if…

We calculate exactly the von Neumann and topological entropies of the toric code as a function of system size and temperature. We do so for systems with infinite energy scale separation between magnetic and electric excitations, so that the…

The group of homeomorphisms of the closed interval that are absolutely continuous and have an absolutely continuous inverse was shown by Solecki to admit a natural Polish group topology $\tau_{ac}$. We show that, under mild conditions on a…

Suppose f is a C^{1+\epsilon} surface diffeomorphism with positive topological entropy. For every positive \delta strictly smaller than the topological entropy of f we construct an invariant Borel set E such that (a) f|E has a countable…
