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…

Sinai proved that a nonatomic ergodic measure-preserving system has any Bernoulli shift of no greater entropy as a factor. Given a Bernoulli shift, we show that any other Bernoulli shift that is of strictly less entropy and is…

We show that a certain type of quasi finite, conservative, ergodic, measure preserving transformation always has a maximal zero entropy factor, generated by predictable sets. We also construct a conservative, ergodic, measure preserving…

Let $S$ and $T$ be measure-preserving transformations of a probability space $(X,{\mathcal B},\mu)$. Let $f$ be a bounded measurable functions, and consider the integrals of the corresponding `double' ergodic averages:…

We construct a natural invariant measure concentrated on the set of square-free numbers, and invariant under the shift. We prove that the corresponding dynamical system is isomorphic to a translation on a compact, Abelian group. This…

In this paper, we define the so-called square entropy and prove that n-to-1 full zip shift maps are intrinsically ergodic. Furthermore, we show that square entropy characterizes uniform n-to-1 transformations of $(m,l)$-Bernoulli type that…

We prove that if a free ergodic action of a countably infinite group has positive Rokhlin entropy (or, less generally, positive sofic entropy) then it factors onto all Bernoulli shifts of lesser or equal entropy. This extends to all…

For every positive integer $n\geq 2$, we introduce the concept of measure-theoretic $n$-sensitivity for measure-theoretic dynamical systems via finite measurable partitions, and show that an ergodic system is measure-theoretically…

Let (Y_t: t > 0) be the STIT tessellation process. We show that for all polytopes W with nonempty interior and all a>1, the renormalized random sequence (a^n Y_{a^n}: n integer) induced in W, is a finitary factor of a Bernoulli shift. As a…

Let $\lambda$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb T^{n-1}$ where $n=2$ or 3. Suppose $\lambda$ is invariant, ergodic and has positive entropy with respect to the linear transformation defined by a hyperbolic matrix. We get a measure $\mu $…

Let $(X,\mu)$ be a standard probability space. An automorphism $T$ of $(X,\mu)$ has the weak Pinsker property if for every $\varepsilon > 0$ it has a splitting into a direct product of a Bernoulli shift and an automorphism of entropy less…

Let $ \beta $ be a real number less than -1. In this paper, we prove the uniqueness of the measure with maximal entropy of the negative $\beta$-shift. Endowed with the shift, this symbolic dynamical system is coded under certain conditions,…

We generalize several results of the classical theory of Thermodynamic Formalism by considering a compact metric space $M$ as the state space. We analyze the shift acting on $M^\mathbb{N}$ and consider a general a-priori probability for…

We show that for every linear toral automorphism, especially the non-hyperbolic ones, the entropies of ergodic measures form a dense set on the interval from zero to the topological entropy.

We prove that for every ergodic invariant measure with positive entropy of a continuous map on a compact metric space there is $\delta>0$ such that the dynamical $\delta$-balls have measure zero. We use this property to prove, for instance,…

Dan Rudolph showed that for an amenable group $\Gamma$, the generic measure-preserving action of $\Gamma$ on a Lebesgue space has zero entropy. Here this is extended to nonamenable groups. In fact, the proof shows that every action is a…

Ergodic optimization aims to describe dynamically invariant probability measures that maximize the integral of a given function. The Dyck and Motzkin shifts are well-known examples of transitive subshifts over a finite alphabet that are not…

We continue the study of Rokhlin entropy, an isomorphism invariant for probability-measure-preserving actions of countable groups introduced in the previous paper. We prove that every free ergodic action with finite Rokhlin entropy admits…

In this paper we study ergodic theory of countable Markov shifts. These are dynamical systems defined over non-compact spaces. Our main result relates the escape of mass, the measure theoretic entropy, and the entropy at infinity of the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a sofic group with a copy of $\mathbb{Z}$ in its center. We construct an uncountable family of pairwise nonisomorphic measure-preserving $\Gamma$ actions with completely positive entropy, none of which is a factor of a…
