Given a compact metric space $X$ and an upper semicontinuous function $F\colon X \to 2^X$, we explore the dynamic system $(X,F)$. In this study, we introduce new concepts, demonstrate various results, and provide numerous examples. In…

We present a theory of the $b$-function (or Bernstein-Sato polynomial) in positive characteristic. Let $f$ be a non-constant polynomial with coefficients in a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0.$ Its $b$-function $b_f$ is defined to…

We consider an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random dynamical system of simple linear transformations on the unit interval $T_{\beta}(x)=\beta x$ (mod $1$), $x\in[0,1]$, $\beta>0$, which are the so-called…

A {\it dynamical system\/} is a pair $(X,\langle T_s\rangle_{s\in S})$, where $X$ is a compact Hausdorff space, $S$ is a semigroup, for each $s\in S$, $T_s$ is a continuous function from $X$ to $X$, and for all $s,t\in S$, $T_s\circ…

We show that the measure of maximal entropy for the hereditary closure of a $\mathscr{B}$-free subshift has the Gibbs property if and only if the Mirsky measure of the subshift is purely atomic. This answers an open question asked by…

The beta transformation is the iterated map $\beta x\,\mod1$; it generates the base-$\beta$ expansion of a real number x. Every iterated piece-wise monotonic map is topologically conjugate to the beta transformation. For all but a countable…

Let $X$ be an irreducible shift of finite type (SFT) of positive entropy, and let $B_n(X)$ be its set of words of length $n$. Define a random subset $\omega$ of $B_n(X)$ by independently choosing each word from $B_n(X)$ with some…

Let $d$ be a positive integer and $U \subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ finite. We study $$\beta(U) : = \inf_{\substack{A , B \neq \emptyset \\ \text{finite}}} \frac{|A+B+U|}{|A|^{1/2}{|B|^{1/2}}},$$ and other related quantities. We employ…

In this paper we characterize tame dynamical systems and functions in terms of eventual non-sensitivity and eventual fragmentability. As a notable application we obtain a neat characterization of tame subshifts $X \subset \{0,1\}^{\mathbb…

We use the structure theory of minimal dynamical systems to show that, for a general group $\Gamma$, a tame, metric, minimal dynamical system $(X, \Gamma)$ has the following structure: \begin{equation*} \xymatrix {& \tilde{X} \ar[dd]_\pi…

Let $\eta=(\eta(t))_{t\in T}$ be a sample continuous max-infinitely random field on a locally compact metric space $T$. For a closed subset $S\in T$, we note $\eta_{S}$ the restriction of $\eta$ to $S$. We consider $\beta(S_1,S_2)$ the…

We prove the Pisot Conjecture for beta-substitutions: If beta is a Pisot number, the tiling dynamical system associated with the beta-substitution has pure discrete spectrum. As corollaries: (1) arithmetical coding of the hyperbolic…

In this paper, a simple case of Bayesian mechanics under the free energy principle is formulated in axiomatic terms. We argue that any dynamical system with constraints on its dynamics necessarily looks as though it is performing inference…

We generalize Condition (K) from directed graphs to Boolean dynamical systems and show that a locally finite Boolean dynamical system $(\mathcal{B},\mathcal{L},\theta)$ with countable $\mathcal{B}$ and $\mathcal{L}$ satisfies Condition (K)…

In complex dynamics, the bungee set is defined as the set points whose orbit is neither bounded nor tends to infinity. In this paper we study, for the first time, the bungee set of a quasiregular map of transcendental type. We show that…

In this paper, we study the density of subsets of nonabelian free groups using relative densities of languages. We start by proving some basic properties about the density of a language $L_1$ relative to another language $L_2$ containing…

Systems obtained by quotienting a subshift of finite type (SFT) by another SFT are called finitely presented in the literature. Analogously, if a sofic shift is quotiented by a sofic equivalence relation, we call the resulting system…

We show that the $\mathscr{B}$-free subshift $(S,X_{\mathscr{B}})$ associated to a $\mathscr{B}$-free system is intrinsically ergodic, i.e.\ it has exactly one measure of maximal entropy. Moreover, we study invariant measures for such…

We introduce a fairly general concept of functional equation for $k$-tuples of functions $f_1,\dots,f_k\colon X \to Y$ between arbitrary sets. The homomorphy equations for mappings between groups and other algebraic systems, as well as…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a finite commutative ring, and let $\mathbb{L}$ be a commutative $\mathbb{K}$-algebra. Let $A$ and $B$ be two $n \times n$-matrices over $\mathbb{L}$ that have the same characteristic polynomial. The main result of this…
