The flow equivalence of sofic shifts is examined using results about the structure of the corresponding covers. A canonical cover generalising the left Fischer cover to arbitrary sofic shifts is introduced and used to prove that the left…
In this paper, a G-shift of finite type (G-SFT) is a shift of finite type together with a free continuous shift-commuting action by a finite group G. We reduce the classification of G-SFTs up to equivariant flow equivalence to an algebraic…
We will study a certain synchronizing property of subshifts called $\lambda$-synchronization. The $\lambda$-synchronizing subshifts form a large class of irreducible subshifts containing irreducible sofic shifts. We prove that the…
We classify certain sofic shifts (the irreducible Point Extension Type, or PET, sofic shifts) up to flow equivalence, using invariants of the canonical Fischer cover. There are two main ingredients: (1) An extension theorem, for extending…
We study the mapping class group of a nontrivial irreducible shift of finite type: the group of flow equivalences of its mapping torus modulo isotopy. This group plays for flow equivalence the role that the automorphism group plays for…
Minimal flow spaces of dimension 1 are among the most fundamental limit sets in dynamical systems. These invariant sets occur as the typical minimal sets in surface flows, the minimal sets of suspensions of subshifts (for example, in Lorenz…
Shifts of finite type defined from shift equivalent matrices must be flow equivalent.
In this work, we prove that every SFT, sofic shift, and strongly irreducible shift on locally finite groups has strong dynamical properties. These properties include that every sofic shift is an SFT, every SFT is strongly irreducible, every…
We investigate a renewal scheme for non-uniformly hyperbolic semiflows that closely resembles the renewal scheme developed in the discrete time case, in order to obtain sharp estimates for the correlation function. Also, the involved…
Flows on surfaces are one of the most fundamental and classical objects in dynamical systems, and are studied from various areas (e.g. integrable systems, differential equations, fluid mechanics). Though hyperbolic flows and recurrent flows…
We obtain results on mixing for a large class of (not necessarily Markov) infinite measure semiflows and flows. Erickson proved, amongst other things, a strong renewal theorem in the corresponding i.i.d. setting. Using operator renewal…
We show that, for every finitely generated group with decidable word problem and undecidable domino problem, there exists a sequence of effective subshifts whose inverse limit is not the topological factor of any effective dynamical system.…
Generalizing a construction of A. Weil, we introduce a topological invariant for flows on compact, connected, finite dimensional, abelian, topological groups. We calculate this invariant for some examples and compare the invariant with…
We study the Bowen topological entropy of generic and irregular points for certain dynamical systems. We define the topological entropy of noncompact sets for flows, analogous to Bowen's definition. We show that this entropy coincides with…
In this paper we consider the notion of normality of sequences in shifts of finite type. A sequence is normal if the frequency of each block exists and is equal to the Parry measure of the block. We give a characterization of normality in…
A consequence of Ornstein theory is that the infinite entropy flows associated with Poisson processes and continuous-time irreducible Markov chains on a finite number of states are isomorphic as measure-preserving systems. We give an…
The Fischer, Krieger, and fiber product covers of sofic beta-shifts are constructed and used to show that every strictly sofic beta-shift is $2$-sofic. Flow invariants based on the covers are computed, and shown to only depend on an single…
By studying the weak closure of multidimensional off-diagonal self-joinings we provide a criterion for non-isomorphism of a flow with its inverse, hence the non-reversibility of a flow. This is applied to special flows over rigid…
We study the Hull-Strominger system and the Anomaly flow on a special class of 2-step solvmanifolds, namely the class of almost-abelian Lie groups. In this setting, we characterize the existence of invariant solutions to the Hull-Strominger…
Reid's m'th-order generalized Ermakov systems of nonlinear coupling constant alpha are equivalent to an integrable Emden-Fowler equation. The standard Ermakov-Lewis invariant is discussed from this perspective, and a closed formula for the…
