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…

Suppose that $X$ is a Polish space, $E$ is a countable Borel equivalence relation on $X$, and $\mu$ is an $E$-invariant Borel probability measure on $X$. We consider the circumstances under which for every countable non-abelian free group…

The main goal of the article is to study the Pontryagin duality for Abelian $s$- and $sb$-groups. Let $G$ be an infinite Abelian group and $X$ be the dual group of the discrete group $G_d$. We show that a dense subgroup $H$ of $X$ is…

In this paper, we mainly consider on the entropy of the extended map conditional to the natural extension of a dynamical system for an Abelian group action and we calculate the entropy is zero.

The Poisson boundary of a group G with a probability measure \mu is the space of ergodic components of the time shift in the path space of the associated random walk. Via a generalization of the classical Poisson formula it gives an…

We determine the range of Furstenberg entropy for stationary ergodic actions of nonabelian free groups by an explicit construction involving random walks on random coset spaces.

We prove that if $G$ is a countable discrete group with property (T) over an infinite subgroup $H<G$ which contains an infinite Abelian subgroup or is normal, then $G$ has continuum many orbit inequivalent measure preserving a.e. free…

We consider endomorphism actions of arbitrary discrete semigroups on a connected metrizable topological group G. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for expansiveness of such actions when G is a Lie group or a compact…

We construct p.m.p. group actions that are not local-global limits of sequences of finite graphs. Moreover, they do not weakly contain any sequence of finite labeled graphs. Our methods are based on the study of almost automorphisms of…

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…

We obtain a partial converse of Vershik's description of ergodic probability measures on a compact metric space with respect to an isometric action by an inductively compact group. This allows us to identify, in this setting, the set of…

Let $(X,\rho,G)$ be a $G-$action topological system, where $G$ is a countable infinite discrete amenable group and $X$ a compact metric space. We prove a variational principle for topological entropy of saturated sets for systems which have…

We study the temporal approach to equilibrium of the Gibbs' and conditional entropies for both invertible deterministic dynamics as well as non-invertible stochastic systems in the presence of white noise. The conditional entropy will…

This paper gives an algebraic characterization of expansive actions of countable abelian groups on compact abelian groups. This naturally extends the classification of expansive algebraic $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions given by Schmidt using…

Let $O(\infty)$ and $U(\infty)$ be the inductively compact infinite orthogonal group and infinite unitary group respectively. The classifications of ergodic probability measures with respect to the natural group action of $O(\infty)\times…

We develop a theory of soficity for actions on graphs and obtain new applications to the study of sofic groups. We establish various examples, stability and permanence properties of sofic actions on graphs, in particular soficity is…

The notion of group entropy is proposed. It enables to unify and generalize many different definitions of entropy known in the literature, as those of Boltzmann-Gibbs, Tsallis, Abe and Kaniadakis. Other new entropic functionals are…

A global action is an algebraic analogue of a topological space. It consists of group actions $G_\alpha\curvearrowright X_\alpha$, $(\alpha\in\Phi)$, which fulfill a certain compatibility condition. We investigate the homotopy theory of…

For nonsupersymmetric theories, the one-loop effective action can be computed via zeta function regularization in terms of the functional trace of the heat kernel associated with the operator which appears in the quadratic part of the…

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).…
