We prove that the maximal infinite step pro-nilfactor $X_\infty$ of a minimal dynamical system $(X,T)$ is the topological characteristic factor in a certain sense. Namely, we show that by an almost one to one modification of $\pi:X…

Let $E$ be a number field and $X$ a smooth geometrically connected variety defined over a characteristic $p$ finite field. Given an $n$-dimensional pure $E$-compatible system of semisimple $\lambda$-adic representations of the \'etale…

Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system. We define the measure-theoretical lower and upper entropies $\underline{h}_\mu(T)$, $\bar{h}_\mu(T)$ for any $\mu\in M(X)$, where $M(X)$ denotes the collection of all Borel probability measures…

We show that the topological full group of a Hausdorff ample groupoid with compact unit space coincides with the group of homotopy classes of invertible isometries in pseudofunction algebras associated with the groupoid. Moreover, if the…

We construct suitable metrics for two classes of topological dynamical systems (linear maps on the torus and non-invertible expansive maps on compact spaces) in order to get a lower bound for topological entropy in terms of the resulting…

If $X$ is a compact Hausdorff space and $\sigma$ is a homeomorphism of $X$, then a Banach algebra $\ell^1(\Sigma)$ of crossed product type is naturally associated with this topological dynamical system $\Sigma=(X,\sigma)$. If $X$ consists…

We show that an $n$-dimensional surface whose entropy is close to that of an $n$-dimensional plane is close in Hausdorff distance to some $n$-dimensional plane at every scale. Moreover we show that self-expanders of low entropy converge in…

We introduce the class of strongly sofic monoids. This class of monoids strictly contains the class of sofic groups and is a proper subclass of the class of sofic monoids. We define and investigate sofic topological entropy for actions of…

We generalize the definition of topological entropy due to Adler, Konheim, and McAndrew \cite{AKM} to set-valued functions from a closed subset $A$ of the interval to closed subsets of the interval. We view these set-valued functions, via…

Let $X = G/\Gamma$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $\Gamma$ is a lattice in $G$, and let $U$ be a subset of $X$ whose complement is compact. We use the exponential mixing results for diagonalizable flows on $X$ to give upper estimates for the…

The family of symmetric one sided subshifts in two symbols given by a sequence $a$ is studied. We analyse some of their topological properties such as transitivity, the specification property and intrinsic ergodicity. It is shown that…

It has been known for some time that the topological entropy is a nondecreasing function of the parameter in the real quadratic family, which corresponds to the intuitive idea that more nonlinearity induces more complex dynamical behavior.…

A basic problem in dynamics is to identify systems with positive entropy, i.e., systems which are "chaotic." While there is a vast collection of results addressing this issue in topological dynamics, the phenomenon of positive entropy…

We characterize positive topological entropy for quasi-state space homeomorphisms induced from $C^*$-algebra automorphisms in terms of dynamically generated subspaces isomorphic to $\ell_1$. This geometric condition is also used to give a…

We consider the dynamical system given by a diagonalizable element $a$ of a closed linear unimodular algebraic subgroup $G$ of the special linear group over the $p$-adic numbers acting by translation on a finite volume quotient $X$.…

Let $X = G/\Gamma$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $\Gamma$ is a lattice in $G$, let $O$ be an open subset of $X$, and let $F = \{g_t: t\ge 0\}$ be a one-parameter subsemigroup of $G$. Consider the set of points in $X$ whose $F$-orbit misses…

We define the topological entropy per unit volume in parabolic PDE's such as the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, and show that it exists, and is bounded by the upper Hausdorff dimension times the maximal expansion rate. We then give a…

We show that if $G$ is a topological graph, and $f$ is continuous map, then the induced map $\tilde{f}$ acting on the hyperspace $C(G)$ of all connected subsets of $G$ by natural formula $\tilde{f}(C)=f(C)$ carries the same entropy as $f$.…

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…

The concept of independence entropy for symbolic dynamical systems was introduced in [LMP13]. This notion of entropy measures the extent to which one can freely insert symbols in positions without violating the constraints defined by the…
