We study uniformly recurrent subgroups (URS) introduced by Glasner and Weiss \cite{GW}. Answering their query we show that any URS $Z$ of a finitely generated group is the stability system of a minimal $Z$-proper action. We also show that…
We prove that if $G$ is a finitely generated group and $Z$ is a uniformly recurrent subgroup of $G$ then there exists a minimal system $(X,G)$ with $Z$ as its stability system. This answers a query of Glasner and Weiss \cite{GW} in the case…
Our purpose here is to review some recent developments in the theory of dynamical systems whose common theme is a link between minimal dynamical systems, certain Ramsey type combinatorial properties, and the Lovasz local lemma (LLL). For a…
We show that every uniformly recurrent subgroup of a locally compact group is the family of stabilizers of a minimal action on a compact space. More generally, every closed invariant subset of the Chabauty space is the family of stabilizers…
Let $G$ be a locally compact totally disconnected topological group. Under a necessary mild assumption, we show that the irreducible unitary representations of $G$ are uniformly admissible if and only if the irreducible smooth…
We show that the only random orderings of finite graphs that are invariant under isomorphism and induced subgraph are the uniform random orderings. We show how this implies the unique ergodicity of the automorphism group of the random…
For any countable group, and also for any locally compact second countable, compactly generated topological group, G, we show the existence of a "universal" hypercyclic (i.e. topologically transitive) representation on a Hilbert space, in…
Let $a_n$ be the random increasing sequence of natural numbers which takes each value independently with decreasing probability of order $n^{-\alpha}$, $0 < \alpha < 1/2$. We prove that, almost surely, for every measure-preserving system…
We establish some interactions between uniformly recurrent subgroups (URSs) of a group $G$ and cosets topologies $\tau_\mathcal{N}$ on $G$ associated to a family $\mathcal{N}$ of normal subgroups of $G$. We show that when $\mathcal{N}$…
Let $G$ be an infinite countable amenable group and let $(X,G)$ be a $G$-subshift with specification, containing a free element. We prove that $(X,G)$ is universal, i.e., has positive topological entropy and for any free ergodic $G$-action…
In this paper we recall the concepts of $G$-odometer and $G$-subodometer for $G$-actions, where $G$ is a discrete finitely generated group, which generalize the notion of odometer in the case $G=\ZZ$. We characterize the $G$-regularly…
The concept of a uniform set is introduced for an ergodic, measure-preserving transformation on a non-atomic, infinite Lebesgue space. The uniform sets exist as much as they generate the underlying $\sigma$-algebra. This leads to the result…
The theorems of M. Ratner, describing the finite ergodic invariant measures and the orbit closures for unipotent flows on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups, are extended for actions of subgroups generated by unipotent elements. More…
Let $\Gamma$ be a countably infinite group. A common theme in ergodic theory is to start with a probability measure-preserving (p.m.p.) action $\Gamma \curvearrowright (X, \mu)$ and a map $f \in L^1(X, \mu)$, and to compare the global…
A generalization of the double commutator lemma for normal subgroups is shown for invariant random subgroups of a countable group acting faithfully on a Hausdorff space. As an application, we classify ergodic invariant random subgroups of…
We study different pointwise recurrence notions for linear dynamical systems from the Ergodic Theory point of view. We show that from any reiteratively recurrent vector $x_0$, for an adjoint operator $T$ on a separable dual Banach space…
It is known that if each point $x$ of a dynamical system is generic for some invariant measure $\mu_x$, then there is a strong connection between certain ergodic and topological properties of that system. In particular, if the acting group…
Given a subdirectly irreducible *-regular ring R, we show that R is a homomorphic image of a regular *-subring of an ultraproduct of the (simple) eRe, e in the minimal ideal of R. Moreover, unit-regularity is shown for every member of the…
We provide a complete characterisation of automaticity of uniformly recurrent substitutive sequences in terms of the incidence matrix of the return substitution of the underlying purely substitutive sequence. This resolves a recent question…
An invariant random subgroup $H \leq G$ is a random closed subgroup whose law is invariant to conjugation by all elements of $G$. When $G$ is locally compact and second countable, we show that for every invariant random subgroup $H \leq G$…
