We show vanishing results about the infimum of the topological entropy of the geodesic flow of homogeneous smooth four manifolds. We prove that any closed oriented geometric four manifold has zero minimal entropy if and only if it has zero…
Let $(X,d,f)$ be a topological dynamical system, where $(X,d)$ is a compact metric space and $f:X\to X$ is a continuous map. We define $n$-ordered empirical measure of $x\in X$ by \begin{align*}…
For a totally disconnected locally compact abelian group, we prove that the topological entropy of a continuous endomorphism coincides with the algebraic entropy of the dual endomorphism with respect to the Pontryagin duality. Moreover,…
We consider word complexity and topological entropy for random substitution subshifts. In contrast to previous work, we do not assume that the underlying random substitution is compatible. We show that the subshift of a primitive random…
A goal in the study of dynamics on the interval is to understand the transition to positive topological entropy. There is a conjecture from the 1980's that the only route to positive topological entropy is through a cascade of period…
Measure-theoretic slow entropy is a more refined invariant than the classical measure-theoretic entropy to characterize the complexity of dynamical systems with subexponential growth rates of distinguishable orbit types. In this paper we…
An infinite graph is quasi-transitive if its vertex set has finitely many orbits under the action of its automorphism group. In this paper we obtain a structure theorem for locally finite quasi-transitive graphs avoiding a minor, which is…
We prove the topological entropy remains constant inside the class of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of $\mathbb{T}^d$ with simple central bundle (that is, when it decomposes into one dimensional sub-bundles with controlled geometry)…
Expanding Thurston maps were introduced by M. Bonk and D. Meyer with motivation from complex dynamics and Cannon's conjecture from geometric group theory via Sullivan's dictionary. In this paper, we show that the entropy map of an expanding…
Let $X$ be a dendrite with set of endpoints $E(X)$ closed and let $f:~X \to X$ be a continuous map with zero topological entropy. Let $P(f)$ be the set of periodic points of $f$. We prove that if $L$ is an infinite $\omega$-limit set of $f$…
In a previous paper ("A characterization of topologically completely positive entropy for shifts of finite type"), the author gave a characterization for when a $\mathbb{Z}^d$-shift of finite type (SFT) has no nontrivial subshift factors…
The article addresses some open questions about the relations between the topological weak mixing property and the transitivity of the map $f\times f^2 \times...\times f^m$, where $f\colon X\ra X$ is a topological dynamical system on a…
Let $C(\mathbf I)$ be the set of all continuous self-maps from ${\mathbf I}=[0,1]$ with the topology of uniformly convergence. A map $f\in C({\mathbf I})$ is called a transitive map if for every pair of non-empty open sets $U,V$ in…
Positive topological entropy and distributional chaos are characterized for hereditary shifts. A hereditary shift has positive topological entropy if and only if it is DC2-chaotic (or equivalently, DC3-chaotic) if and only if it is not…
We give an upper bound for the topological entropy of maps on inverse limit spaces in terms of their set-valued components. In a special case of a diagonal map on the inverse limit space $\underleftarrow{\lim}(I,f)$, where every diagonal…
In his 1964 paper on f-expansions, Parry studied piecewise-continuous, piecewise-monotonic maps F of the interval [0,1), and introduced a notion of topological transitivity different from any of the modern definitions. This notion, which we…
We generalize the definition of topological entropy given by Adler, Konheim, and McAndrew (AKM) for piecewise continuous self-maps defined on a compact interval (pc-maps). For this notion of entropy, we prove that the properties of the…
For a continuous self-map $f$ on a compact interval $I$ and the induced map $\hat f$ on the space $\mathcal{M}(I)$ of probability measures, we obtain a sharp condition to guarantee that $(I,f)$ is transitive if and only if…
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…
Let $X$ be a compact tree, $f$ be a continuous map from $X$ to itself, $End(X)$ be the number of endpoints and $Edg(X)$ be the number of edges of $X$. We show that if $n>1$ has no prime divisors less than $End(X)+1$ and $f$ has a cycle of…
