The squarefree flow is a natural dynamical system whose topological and ergodic properties are closely linked to the behavior of squarefree numbers. We prove that the squarefree flow carries a unique measure of maximal entropy and express…
We consider the free boundary condition Gibbs measure of the Potts model on a random tree. We provide an explicit temperature interval below the ferromagnetic transition temperature for which this measure is extremal, improving older bounds…
Previous work introduced two measure-conjugacy invariants: the $f$-invariant (for actions of free groups) and $\Sigma$-entropy (for actions of sofic groups). The purpose of this paper is to show that the $f$-invariant is a special case of…
The $f$-invariant is a notion of entropy for probability-measure-preserving actions of free groups. We show it is invariant under bounded orbit-equivalence.
Recent work of Barbieri and Meyerovitch has shown that, for very general spin systems indexed by sofic groups, equilibrium (i.e. pressure-maximizing) states are Gibbs. The main goal of this paper is to show that the converse fails in an…
We relate Fuglede-Kadison determinants to entropy of algebraic actions of sofic groups in essentially complete generality. This generalizes recent results of Hanfeng Li and Andreas Thom from the amenable case to the sofic case, as well as…
In this paper we will prove that any dynamical system posess the unique maximal factor of zero Rokhlin entropy, so-called Pinsker factor. It is proven also, that if the system is ergodic and this factor has no atoms then system is…
For actions of a sofic group on probability spaces, the entropy has been defined by Bowen, with an extension by Kerr-Li. In particular, when the action is by homeomorphisms of a compact space preserving a given measure, Kerr-Li show one can…
Tsallis has suggested a nonextensive generalization of the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy, the maximization of which gives a generalized canonical distribution under special constraints. In this brief report we show that the generalized canonical…
We develop a recently proposed importance-sampling Monte Carlo algorithm for sampling rare events and quenched variables in random disordered systems. We apply it to a two dimensional bond-diluted Ising model and study the Griffiths…
The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy suggests that thermodynamics is an intrinsic ingredient of gravity. Here, we explore the idea that requirements of thermodynamic consistency could determine the gravitational entropy in other set-ups. We…
Gibbs' theorem, which is originally intended for canonical ensembles with complete statistics has been generalized to open systems with incomplete statistics. As a result of this generalization, it is shown that the stationary equilibrium…
We consider the unique measure of maximal entropy for proper 3-colorings of $\mathbb{Z}^2$, or equivalently, the so-called zero-slope Gibbs measure. Our main result is that this measure is Bernoulli, or equivalently, that it can be…
In this article we study $r$-neutralized local entropy and derive some entropy formulas. For an ergodic hyperbolic measure of a smooth system, we show that the $r$-neutralized local entropy equals the Brin-Katok local entropy plus $r$ times…
The purpose of this work is to bound sofic topological entropy of Toeplitz systems over residually finite groups and to prove the Krieger Theorem about attaining arbitrary entropy by the Toeplitz systems. To achieve these results, we…
In this article we consider a lattice system of unbounded continuos spins. Otto & Reznikoff used the two-scale approach to show that exponential decay of correlations yields a logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) with uniform constant in…
We show that for a $\mathbb{Z}^{l}$-action (or $(\N\cup\{0\})^l$-action) on a non-empty compact metrizable space $\Omega$, the existence of a affine space dense in the set of continuous functions on $\Omega$ constituted by elements…
We consider Gibbs measures on the configuration space $S^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$, where mostly $d\geq 2$ and $S$ is a finite set. We start by a short review on concentration inequalities for Gibbs measures. In the Dobrushin uniqueness regime, we…
We prove that for a measure preserving action of a sofic group with positive sofic entropy, the set of points with finite stabilizer have positive measure. This extends results of Weiss and Seward for amenable groups and free groups,…
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…
