Generalizing a result of Furstenberg, we show that for every infinite discrete group $G$, the Bernoulli flow $2^G$ is disjoint from every minimal $G$-flow. From this, we deduce that the algebra generated by the minimal functions…
In his seminal 1967 paper "Disjointness in ergodic theory, minimal sets, and a problem in Diophantine approximation" Furstenberg introduced the notion of disjointness of dynamical systems, both topological and measure preserving. In this…
It is proved that any infinite Abelian topological group of prime exponent has an infinite maximally almost periodic subgroup.
Motivated by Berg's notion of quasi-disjointness for ergodic systems, we introduce and investigate the concept of quasi-disjointness for minimal systems. Several equivalent characterizations are provided. We prove that quasi-disjointness is…
For profinite branch groups, we first demonstrate the equivalence of the Bergman property, uncountable cofinality, Cayley boundedness, the countable index property, and the condition that every non-trivial normal subgroup is open; compact…
We prove that many, but not all injective factors arise as crossed products by nonsingular Bernoulli actions of the group $\mathbb{Z}$. We obtain this result by proving a completely general result on the ergodicity, type and Krieger's…
We extend the notions of "$R_\infty$-property" and "full (extended) Reidemeister spectrum" to finite groups in a meaningful way. We provide examples of finite groups admitting these properties, if they exist, by looking at groups of small…
Whenever all differences between zeros of two holomorphic almost periodic functions in a strip form a discrete set, then both functions are infinite products of periodic functions with commensurable periods. In particular, the result is…
We show that a differential algebraic group can be filtered by a finite subnormal series of differential algebraic groups such that successive quotients are almost simple, that is have no normal subgroups of the same type. We give a…
We show that an accessible group with infinitely many ends has property $R_{\infty}$. That is, it has infinitely many twisted conjugacy classes for any twisting automorphism. We deduce that having property $R_{\infty}$ is undecidable…
In this paper we study the dynamics of Bernoulli flows and their subflows over general countable groups from the symbolic and topological perspectives. We study free subflows (subflows in which every point has trivial stabilizer), minimal…
We reprove the essential self-adjointness of the Dirichlet operators of Dirchlet forms for infinite particle systems with superstable and sub-exponentially decreasing interactions.
It is well known that the Bernoulli polynomials $\mathbf{B}_n(x)$ have nonintegral coefficients for $n \geq 1$. However, ten cases are known so far in which the derivative $\mathbf{B}'_n(x)$ has only integral coefficients. One may assume…
We give an example of a long range Bernoulli percolation process on a group non-quasi-isometric with $\mathbb{Z}$, in which clusters are almost surely finite for all values of the parameter. This random graph admits diverse equivalent…
We study groups having the property that every non-abelian subgroup is equal to its normalizer. This class of groups is closely related to an open problem posed by Berkovich. We give a full classification of finite groups having the above…
We say that a countable discrete group $G$ is {\em almost Ornstein} if for every pair of standard non-two-atom probability spaces $(K,\kappa), (L,\lambda)$ with the same Shannon entropy, the Bernoulli shifts $G \cc (K^G,\kappa^G)$ and $G…
We introduce and study a subclass of joint Bernoulli distributions which has the palindromic property. For such distributions the vector of joint probabilities is unchanged when the order of the elements is reversed. We prove for binary…
Recently, Glasner, Tsankov, Weiss, and Zucker showed that if $\Gamma$ is an infinite discrete group, then every minimal $\Gamma$-flow is disjoint from the Bernoulli shift $2^\Gamma$. Their proof is somewhat involved; in particular, it…
A natural question for groups $H$ is which data can be detected in its finite quotients. A subset $X \subset H$ is called separable if for all $h\in H \setminus X$, there exists an epimorphism $\varphi$ to a finite group $Q$ such that…
We show that each member of a doubly infinite sequence of highly nonlinear expressions of Bernoulli polynomials, which can be seen as linear combinations of certain higher-order convolutions, is a multiple of a specific product of linear…
