We prove that a zero topological entropy continuous tree map always displays zero topological sequence entropy when it is restricted to its non-wandering and chain recurrent sets. In addition, we show that a similar result is not possible…
A deep connection between the Hall conductance in realistic situation and a topological invariant is pointed out based on von-Neumann lattice representation in which Landau level electrons have minimum spatial extensions. We show that the…
For a generalized Cantor set $E(\omega)$ with respect to a sequence $\omega=\{ q_n \}_{n=1}^{\infty} \subset (0,1)$, we consider Riemann surface $X_{E(\omega)}:=\hat{\mathbb{C}} \setminus E(\omega)$ and metrics on Teichm\"uller space…
The enumeration degrees of sets of natural numbers can be identified with the degrees of difficulty of enumerating neighborhood bases of points in a universal second-countable $T_0$-space (e.g. the $\omega$-power of the Sierpi\'nski space).…
In this article the notion of the nondecreasing (ND) rank of a matrix or tensor is introduced. A tensor has an ND rank of r if it can be represented as a sum of r outer products of vectors, with each vector satisfying a monotonicity…
It is folklore that tree-width is monotone under taking subgraphs (i.e. injective graph homomorphisms) and contractions (certain kinds of surjective graph homomorphisms). However, although tree-width is obviously not monotone under any…
We define topologically semiperfect (complete, separated, right linear) topological rings and characterize them by equivalent conditions. We show that the endomorphism ring of a module, endowed with the finite topology, is topologically…
Under the action of the general linear group with tensor structure, the ranks of matrices $A$ and $B$ forming an $m \times n$ pencil $A + \lambda B$ can change, but in a restricted manner. Specifically, with every pencil one can associate a…
We prove that a $C^1-$generic symplectic diffeomorphism is either Anosov or the topological entropy is bounded from below by the supremum over the smallest positive Lyapunov exponent of the periodic points. We also prove that $C^1-$generic…
Two channels are said to be equivalent if they are degraded from each other. The space of equivalent channels with input alphabet $X$ and output alphabet $Y$ can be naturally endowed with the quotient of the Euclidean topology by the…
We provide a novel analysis of low-rank tensor completion based on hypergraph expanders. As a proxy for rank, we minimize the max-quasinorm of the tensor, which generalizes the max-norm for matrices. Our analysis is deterministic and shows…
The notion of ends in an infinite graph $G$ might be modified if we consider them as equivalence classes of infinitely edge-connected rays, rather than equivalence classes of infinitely (vertex-)connected ones. This alternative definition…
In analogy to the topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of totally disconnected locally compact groups, we introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of locally linearly compact vector spaces. We study…
We establish the vanishing for non-trivial unitary representations of the bounded cohomology of SL_d up to the rank. It holds more generally for uniformly bounded representations on superreflexive spaces. The same results are obtained for…
We show that the homeomorphism group of a surface without boundary does not admit a Hausdorff group topology strictly coarser than the compact-open topology. In combination with known automatic continuity results, this implies that the…
In this paper we develop unifying graph theoretic techniques to study the dynamics and the structure of the space of homeomorphisms and the space of self-maps of the Cantor space. Using our methods, we give characterizations which determine…
An inverse limit of a sequence of covering spaces over a given space $X$ is not, in general, a covering space over $X$ but is still a lifting space, i.e. a Hurewicz fibration with unique path lifting property. Of particular interest are…
In this paper we prove that the monotonicity of kneading sequences and topological entropy, a fundamental structural property of the quadratic family, extends to the class of power-law unimodal maps $f_a(x)=a-|x|^r$ for arbitrary critical…
We show that for every finite-rank median algebra $X$, the rank of $X$ coincides with the independence number of the family of all median-preserving maps $X \to [0,1]$. In the compact topological case, the same equality holds for the family…
We introduce the algebraic entropy for continuous endomorphisms of locally linearly compact vector spaces over a discrete field, as the natural extension of the algebraic entropy for endomorphisms of discrete vector spaces. We show that the…
