Recently Bingbing Liang and Hanfeng Li computed the mean dimension and metric mean dimension for algebraic actions of amenable groups. We show how to extend their computation of metric mean dimension to the case of sofic groups, provided…

Given a length function L on the R-modules of a unital ring R, for each sofic group $\Gamma$ we define a mean length for every locally L-finite $R\Gamma$-module relative to a bigger $R\Gamma$-module. We establish an addition formula for the…

We investigate the dynamical property of the naive mean dimension for continuous actions of any countable group on compact metrizable spaces. It is shown that naive mean dimension serves as an upper bound of sofic mean dimension for actions…

We approach the study of sub-von Neumann algebras of the group von Neumann algebra $L\Gamma$ for countable groups $\Gamma$ from a dynamical perspective. It is shown that $L(\Gamma)$ admits a maximal invariant amenable subalgebra. The notion…

Mean dimension is a topological invariant of dynamical systems, which originates with Mikhail Gromov in 1999 and which was studied with deep applications around 2000 by Elon Lindenstrauss and Benjamin Weiss within the framework of amenable…

In this paper, we mainly elucidate a close relationship between the topological entropy and mean dimension theory for actions of polynomial growth groups. We show that metric mean dimension and mean Hausdorff dimension of subshifts with…

We define simplicial and dimension $\Gamma$-groups, the generalizations of simplicial and dimension groups to the case when these groups have an action of an arbitrary group $\Gamma.$ Assuming that the integral group ring of $\Gamma$ is…

For every infinite (countable discrete) amenable group $G$ and every positive integer $d$ we construct a minimal $G$-action of mean dimension $d/2$ which cannot be embedded in the full $G$-shift on $([0,1]^d)^G$.

Mean dimension is a topological invariant for dynamical systems that is meaningful for systems with infinite dimension and infinite entropy. Given a $\mathbb{Z}^k$-action on a compact metric space $X$, we study the following three problems…

We prove that, if a discrete group $G$ is not inner amenable, then the unit group of the ring of operators affiliated with the group von Neumann algebra of $G$ is non-amenable with respect to the topology generated by its rank metric. This…

We consider two numerical entropy--type invariants for actions of $\Zk$, invariant under a choice of generators and well-adapted for smooth actions whose individual elements have positive entropy. We concentrate on the maximal rank case,…

We define for arbitrary modules over a finite von Neumann algebra $\cala$ a dimension taking values in $[0,\infty]$ which extends the classical notion of von Neumann dimension for finitely generated projective $\cala$-modules and inherits…

We define spectral gap actions of discrete groups on von Neumann algebras and study their relations with invariant states. We will show that a finitely generated ICC group $\Gamma$ is inner amenable if and only if there exist more than one…

We prove a weak form of the mean ergodic theorem for actions of amenable locally compact quantum groups in the von Neumann algebra setting.

Amenable actions of locally compact groups on von Neumann algebras are investigated by exploiting the natural module structure of the crossed product over the Fourier algebra of the acting group. The resulting characterisation of…

We prove that amenability of a discrete group is equivalent to dimension flatness of certain ring inclusions naturally associated with measure preserving actions of the group. This provides a group-measure space theoretic solution to a…

Metric mean dimension and mean Hausdorff dimension depend on metrics. In this paper, we investigate the continuity of the metric mean dimension and mean Hausdorff dimension concerning the metrics for amenable group actions, which extends…

In this paper, we introduce the notions of upper metric mean dimension, $u$-upper metric mean dimension, $l$-upper metric mean dimension of free semigroup actions for non-compact sets via Carath\'{e}odory-Pesin structure. Firstly, the lower…

We introduce mean dimensions for continuous actions of countable sofic groups on compact metrizable spaces. These generalize the Gromov-Lindenstrauss-Weiss mean dimensions for actions of countable amenable groups, and are useful for…

Let $G$ be a countable discrete amenable group, ${\cal M}$ a McDuff factor von Neumann algebra, and $A$ a separable nuclear weakly dense C$^*$-subalgebra of ${\cal M}$. We show that if two centrally free actions of $G$ on ${\cal M}$ differ…
