We establish characterization results for the ergodicity of stationary symmetric $\alpha$-stable (S$\alpha$S) and $\alpha$-Frechet random fields. We show that the result of Samorodnitsky [Ann. Probab. 33 (2005) 1782-1803] remains valid in…

We show that the topological rank of an orbit full group generated by an ergodic, probability measure-preserving free action of a non-discrete unimodular locally compact Polish group is two. For this, we use the existence of a cross section…

We show that the class of sofic actions is closed under direct products and contains a (non-unique) maximal element in the weak containment order. For any sofic group we construct nice sofic approximations such that all the sofic actions…

In a previous paper the authors developed an operator-algebraic approach to Lewis Bowen's sofic measure entropy that yields invariants for actions of countable sofic groups by homeomorphisms on a compact metrizable space and by…

We show that for a $\mathbb{Z}^{l}$-action (or $(\N\cup\{0\})^l$-action) on a non-empty compact metrizable space $\Omega$, the existence of a affine space dense in the set of continuous functions on $\Omega$ constituted by elements…

We consider several weaker versions of the notion of conjugacy and orbit equivalence of measure preserving actions of countable groups on probability spaces, involving equivalence of the ultrapower actions and asymptotic intertwining…

In this note, we give the affirmative answer of the question in [18], which is a compactness result of the non-radial Sobolev spaces. As an application, we show the existence of an extremal function of the critical Hardy inequality under…

We develop the notion of Rokhlin dimension for partial actions of finite groups, extending the well-established theory for global systems. The partial setting exhibits phenomena that cannot be expected for global actions, usually stemming…

We show that for a finitely generated group of $C^2$ circle diffeomorphisms, the entropy of the action equals the entropy of the restriction of the action to the non-wandering set.

We consider the system constituted by a hollow rigid body whose cavity contains a homogeneous rigid ball, and let the gap between the solids be entirely filled by a viscous incompressible fluid. We investigate the free rotations of the…

We prove positive characteristic analogues of certain measure rigidity theorems in characteristic zero. More specifically we give a classification result for positive entropy measures on quotients of $\operatorname{SL}_d$ and a…

We consider finitely generated groups of real-analytic circle diffeomorphisms. We show that if such a group admits an exceptional minimal set (i.e., a minimal invariant Cantor set), then its Lebesgue measure is zero; moreover, there are…

We present a new argument in the study of positive entropy measures for higher rank diagonalisable actions. The argument relies on a quantitative form of recurrence along unipotent directions (that are not known to preserve the measure).…

This paper introduces the concepts of correlation entropy and local correlation entropy for free semigroup actions on compact metric space, and explores their fundamental properties. Thereafter, we generalize some classical results on…

The notion of slow entropy, both upper and lower slow entropy, was defined by Katok and Thouvenot as a more refined measure of complexity for dynamical systems, than the classical Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy. For any subexponential rate…

In this paper, we introduce compact group actions with the weak tracial Rokhlin property. This concept simultaneously generalizes finite group actions with the weak tracial Rokhlin property and compact group actions with the tracial Rokhlin…

We continue our study of when topological and measure-theoretic entropy agree for algebraic action of sofic groups. Specifically, we provide a new abstract method to prove that an algebraic action is strongly sofic. The method is based on…

We prove a rigidity property in non-Archimedean dynamics, reminiscent of Zdunik theorem in complex dynamics: every rational map whose equilibrium measure charges an interval in the Berkovich projective line is affine Bernoulli. Our proof is…

Let G be a group and let M be a CAT(0) proper metric space (e.g. a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature or a locally finite tree). Isometric actions of G on M are (by definition) points in the…

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…
