It is shown that if (M,phi,alpha) is a W*-dynamical system with M a type I von Neumann algebra then the entropy of alpha w.r.t. phi equals the entropy of the restriction of alpha to the center of M. If furthermore (N,psi,beta) is a…
We introduce the algebraic entropy for endomorphisms of arbitrary abelian groups, appropriately modifying existing notions of entropy. The basic properties of the algebraic entropy are given, as well as various examples. The main result of…
We express the entropy of a scalar field phi directly in terms of its spacetime correlation function W(x,y) = <phi(x) phi(y)>, assuming that the higher correlators are of "Gaussian" form. The resulting formula associates an entropy S(R) to…
In this paper, we introduce a new entropy-like invariant, named Hausdorff metric entropy, for finitely generated semigroups acting on compact metric spaces from a set-valued view and study its properties. We establish the relation between…
This paper generalizes sofic entropy theory, in both the topological and measure-theory settings, to actions of locally compact groups. We prove invariance under topological and measure conjugacy of these entropies and establish the…
We define the class of multivariate group entropies as a novel set of information - theoretical measures, which extends significantly the family of group entropies. We propose new examples related to the "super-exponential" universality…
We define the notion of entropy for a cross section of an action of continuous amenable group and relate it to the entropy of the ambient action. As a result, we are able to answer a question of J.P. Thouvenot about completely positive…
We define a notion of entropy for an infinite family $\mathcal{C}$ of measurable sets in a probability space. We show that the mean ergodic theorem holds uniformly for $\mathcal{C}$ under every ergodic transformation if and only if…
We show that counting different configurations that give rise to black hole entropy in loop quantum gravity is related to partitions in number theory.
The geometric entanglement entropy of a quantum field in the vacuum state is known to be divergent and, when regularized, to scale as the area of the boundary of the region. Here we introduce an operational definition of the entropy of the…
We show that for a finitely generated group of $C^2$ circle diffeomorphisms, the entropy of the action equals the entropy of the restriction of the action to the non-wandering set.
We consider actions of a tileable amenable group $\Gamma$ on a topological space $X$. For a continuous function on $X$, we define the entropy of the number of homologically detectable critical point of the average of that function over…
The question of what is the total entropy of the universe, how it compares to the maximal entropy of de Sitter space, and how it is distributed across the universe's components, bears considerable importance for a number of reasons. Here,…
We introduce a new class of locally compact groups, namely the strongly compactly covered groups, which are the Hausdorff topological groups $G$ such that every element of $G$ is contained in a compact open normal subgroup of $G$. For…
We show how the dependence of phase space volume $\Omega(N)$ of a classical system on its size $N$ uniquely determines its extensive entropy. We give a concise criterion when this entropy is not of Boltzmann-Gibbs type but has to assume a…
We introduce a canonical notion of entropy for polynomials analogue to that of random variables in probability. We prove that entropy increases smoothly with respect to finite free addition. In particular we get the new inequality : $…
Polymer quantization is as a useful toy model for the mathematical aspects of loop quantum gravity and is interesting in its own right. Analyzing entropies of physically equivalent states in the standard Hilbert space and the polymer…
We show, when $G$ is a nilpotent or reductive Lie group, that the entropy of any surjective endomorphism coincides with the entropy of its restriction to the toral component of the center of $G$. In particular, if $G$ is a semi-simple Lie…
A common meadow is an enrichment of a field with a partial division operation that is made total by assuming that division by zero takes the a default value, a special element $\bot$ adjoined to the field. To a common meadow of real numbers…
Entropy arises in strong interactions by a dynamical separation of ``partons'' from unobservable ``environment'' modes due to confinement. For interacting scalar fields we calculate the statistical entropy of the observable subsystem.…
