We construct an explicit algebraic example of a subshift of finite type over a group $\Gamma$ with an invariant Markov measure which has completely positive sofic entropy (with respect to `most' sofic approximations) and yet does not have a…

We prove that a topologically predictable action of a countable amenable group has zero topological entropy, as conjectured by Hochman. On route, we investigate invariant random orders and formulate a unified Kieffer-Pinsker formula for the…

Mixing for measure-preserving group actions is a fundamental notion in ergodic theory, with different phenomena arising for different acting groups. In 1993, Klaus Schmidt and Tom Ward proved that 2-mixing implies mixing of all orders for…

Uniformly finite homology is a coarse invariant for metric spaces; in particular, it is a quasi-isometry invariant for finitely generated groups. In this article, we study uniformly finite homology of finitely generated amenable groups and…

Recently Lewis Bowen introduced a notion of entropy for measure-preserving actions of countable sofic groups admitting a generating measurable partition with finite entropy; and then David Kerr and Hanfeng Li developed an operator-algebraic…

Let $ G $ be a countable discrete group and consider a nonsingular Bernoulli shift action $ G \curvearrowright \prod_{g\in G }(\{0,1\},\mu_g)$ with two base points. When $ G $ is exact, under a certain finiteness assumption on the measures…

Let $(X,\mu)$ be a standard probability space. An automorphism $T$ of $(X,\mu)$ has the weak Pinsker property if for every $\varepsilon > 0$ it has a splitting into a direct product of a Bernoulli shift and an automorphism of entropy less…

For any infinite zero-density integer set M, we found a rigid measure-preserving transformation mixing along M by answering Bergelson's question. Gaussian and Poisson suspensions over infinite constructions are suggested as suitable…

A probability measure is a characteristic measure of a topological dynamical system if it is invariant to the automorphism group of the system. We show that zero entropy shifts always admit characteristic measures. We use similar techniques…

Let $G$ be a countable residually finite group (for instance $\mathbb{F}_2$) and let $\overleftarrow{G}$ be a totally disconnected metric compactification of $G$ equipped with the action of $G$ by left multiplication. For every $r\geq 1$ we…

We define a hierarchy of systems with topological completely positive entropy in the context of continuous countable amenable group actions on compact metric spaces. For each countable ordinal we construct a dynamical system on the…

Let $(X,G)$ be a $G$-action topological system, where $G$ is a countable infinite discrete amenable group and $X$ a compact metric space. In this paper we study the upper capacity entropy and packing entropy for systems with weaker version…

Let $M$ be a compact surface with boundary. We are interested in the question of how a group action on $M$ permutes a finite invariant set $X \subset int(M)$. More precisely, how the algebraic properties of the induced group of permutations…

Let $G$ be a non-amenable countable group. We show that every almost automorphic $G$-action on a compact Hausdorff space, with a maximal equicontinuous factor whose phase space is a Cantor set, admits invariant probability measures (this…

In the simple case of a Bernoulli shift on two symbols, zero and one, by permuting the symbols, it is obvious that any two equal entropy shifts are isomorphic. We show that the isomorphism can be realized by a factor that maps a binary…

Sinai proved that a nonatomic ergodic measure-preserving system has any Bernoulli shift of no greater entropy as a factor. Given a Bernoulli shift, we show that any other Bernoulli shift that is of strictly less entropy and is…

We introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous actions of compactly generated topological groups on compact Hausdorff spaces. It is shown that any continuous action of a compactly generated topological group on a compact…

The notion of $\Delta$-weakly mixing subsets is introduced for countable torsion-free discrete group actions. It is shown that for a finitely generated torsion-free discrete nilpotent group action, positive topological entropy implies the…

A probability-measure-preserving transformation has the Weak Pinsker Property (WPP) if for every $\epsilon>0$ it is measurably conjugate to the direct product of a transformation with entropy $<\epsilon$ and a Bernoulli shift. In a recent…

In this paper, a polynomial version of Furstenberg joining is introduced and its structure is investigated. Particularly, it is shown that if all polynomials are non-linear, then almost every ergodic component of the joining is a direct…
