We show that the values of entropies of multidimensional shifts of finite type (SFTs) are characterized by a certain computation-theoretic property: a real number $h\geq 0$ is the entropy of such an SFT if and only if it is right…

We study the definable topological dynamics $(G(M), S_G(M))$ of a definable group acting on its type space, where $M$ is either an $o$-minimal structure or a $p$-adically closed field, and $G$ a definable amenable group. We focus on the…

In this paper, we explore the construction and dynamical properties of $\mathcal{S}$-limited shifts. An $S$-limited shift is a subshift defined on a finite alphabet $\mathcal{A} = \{1, \ldots,p\}$ by a set $\mathcal{S} = \{S_1, \ldots,…

A topological group $G$ is extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. Using the concentration of measure techniques developed by Gromov and Milman, we prove that the group of automorphisms of…

We study the dynamics of continuous maps on compact metric spaces containing a free interval (an open subset homeomorphic to the interval $(0,1)$). We provide a new proof of a result of M. Dirb\'ak, \v{L}. Snoha, V. \v{S}pitalsk\'y [Ergodic…

We construct symbolic dynamics on sets of full measure (w.r.t. an ergodic measure of positive entropy) for $C^{1+\epsilon}$ flows on compact smooth three-dimensional manifolds. One consequence is that the geodesic flow on the unit tangent…

The notion of $\Delta$-weakly mixing set is introduced, which shares similar properties of weakly mixing sets. It is shown that if a dynamical system has positive topological entropy, then the collection of $\Delta$-weakly mixing sets is…

We prove that a generic p.m.p. action of a countable amenable group $G$ has scaling entropy that can not be dominated by a given rate of growth. As a corollary, we obtain that there does not exist a topological action of $G$ for which the…

In this article, we compare the dynamics of the shift map and its induced counterpart on the hyperspace of the shift space. We show that many of the properties of induced shift map can be easily demonstrated by appropriate sequences of…

A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…

Higher-dimensional binary shifts of number-theoretic origin with positive topological entropy are considered. We are particularly interested in analysing their symmetries and extended symmetries. They form groups, known as the topological…

The $S$-gap shifts have a dynamically and combinatorially rich structure. Dynamical properties of the $S$-gap shift can be related to the properties of the set $S$. This interplay is particularly interesting when $S$ is not syndetic such as…

Let $G$ be a group and let $V$ be an algebraic group over an algebraically closed field. We introduce algebraic group subshifts $\Sigma \subset V^G$ which generalize both the class of algebraic sofic subshifts of $V^G$ and the class of…

We study genericity of dynamical properties in the space of homeomorphisms of the Cantor set and in the space of subshifts of a suitably large shift space. These rather different settings are related by a Glasner-King type correspondence:…

Ergodic optimization aims to describe dynamically invariant probability measures that maximize the integral of a given function. For a wide class of intrinsically ergodic subshifts over a finite alphabet, we show that the space of…

We show a flexibility result in the context of generalized entropy. The space of dynamical systems we work with is, homeomorphisms on the sphere whose non-wandering set consist in only one fixed point.

Let $G$ be a noncompact semisimple Lie group, $\Gamma$ be an irreducible cocompact lattice in $G$, and $P<G$ be a minimal parabolic subgroup. We consider the dynamics of $P$ acting on $G/\Gamma$ by left translation. For any infinite subset…

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 establish a close link between the amenability of a unitary representation $\pi$ of a group $G$ (in the sense of Bekka) and the concentration property (in the sense of V. Milman) of the corresponding dynamical system $(\s_\pi,G)$, where…

For every finite-to-one map $\lambda:\Gamma\to\Gamma$ and for every abelian group $K$, the generalized shift $\sigma_\lambda$ of the direct sum $\bigoplus_\Gamma K$ is the endomorphism defined by…
