We extend some properties of random walks on hyperbolic groups to random walks on convergence groups. In particular we prove that if a convergence group $G$ acts on a compact metrizable space $M$ with the convergence property then we can…

We motivate and study the class $\mathcal{C}$ of countable groups $G$ such that the conjugacy relation between minimal actions of $G$ on $\mathbb{R}$ by orientation-preserving homeomorphisms is smooth -- that is, admits a Borel transversal.…

We show that if a (locally compact) group $G$ acts properly on a locally compact $\sigma$-compact space $X$ then there is a family of $G$-invariant proper continuous finite-valued pseudometrics which induces the topology of $X$. If $X$ is…

Motivated by Furstenberg's Theorem on sets in the circle invariant under multiplication by a non-lacunary semigroup, we define a general class of dynamical systems possessing similar topological dynamical properties. We call such systems…

Given a separable metrisable space X, and a group G of homeomorphisms of X, we introduce a topological property of the action of G on X which is equivalent to the existence of a G-invariant compatible metric on X. This extends a result of…

In this article, we define amorphic complexity for actions of locally compact $\sigma$-compact amenable groups on compact metric spaces. Amorphic complexity, originally introduced for $\mathbb Z$-actions, is a topological invariant which…

We consider positive entropy $G$-systems for certain countable, discrete, infinite left-orderable amenable groups $G$. By undertaking local analysis, the existence of asymptotic pairs and chaotic sets will be studied in connecting with the…

In this paper, we give two examples to show that an invertible mapping is Li-Yorke chaotic does not imply its inverse being Li-Yorke chaotic, in which one is an invertible bounded linear operator on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space and…

In this paper, for any given polynomial, by analyzing the limiting behavior of ergodic averages along polynomials of several variables and prime numbers, we prove that for a topology dynamical system, positive entropy implies mean Li-Yoke…

This paper is concerned with strong Li-Yorke chaos induced by A-coupled-expansion for time-varying (i.e., nonautonomous) discrete systems in metric spaces. Some criteria of chaos in the strong sense of Li-Yorke are established via strict…

We show that topological amenability of an action of a countable discrete group on a compact space is equivalent to the existence of an invariant mean for the action. We prove also that this is equivalent to vanishing of bounded cohomology…

Packing topological entropy is a dynamical analogy of the packing dimension, which can be viewed as a counterpart of Bowen topological entropy. In the present paper, we will give a systematically study to the packing topological entropy for…

We study universal properties of locally compact G-spaces for countable infinite groups G. In particular we consider open invariant subsets of the \beta-compactification of G (which is a G-space in a natural way), and their minimal closed…

Using some techniques from topological dynamics, we give a uniform treatment of Li-Yorke chaos, mean Li-Yorke chaos and distributional chaos for continuous endomorphisms of completely metrizable groups, and characterize three kinds of chaos…

The paper investigates two invariants for totally disconnected locally compact groups: the number of ends and the rational discrete cohomological dimension. For such a compactly generated group $G$ it is shown that its number of ends can be…

In this note we study the dynamics of the natural evaluation action of the group of isometries $G$ of a locally compact metric space $(X,d)$ with one end. Using the notion of pseudo-components introduced by S. Gao and A. S. Kechris we show…

In this paper, we study the mean Li-Yorke chaotic phenomenon along any infinite positive integer sequence for infinite-dimensional random dynamical systems. To be precise, we prove that if an injective continuous infinite-dimensional random…

The class A of countable groups that admit a faithful, transitive, amenable -- in the sense that there is an invariant mean -- action on a set has been widely investigated in the past. In this paper, we no longer require the action to be…

We further investigate the weak topology generated by the irreducible unitary representations of a group $G$. A deep result due to Ernest \cite{Ernest1971} and Hughes \cite{Hughes1973} asserts that every weakly compact subset of a locally…

This paper generalizes sofic entropy theory, in both the topological and measure-theory settings, to actions of locally compact groups. We prove invariance under topological and measure conjugacy of these entropies and establish the…
