We study the dynamics of piecewise affine surface homeomorphisms from the point of view of their entropy. Under the assumption of positive topological entropy, we establish the existence of finitely many ergodic and invariant probability…
Associated to any orthogonal representation of a countable discrete group is an probability measure-preserving action called the Gaussian action. Using the Polish model formalism we developed before, we compute the entropy (in the sense of…
In this paper, we study several finite approximation properties of topological full groups of group actions on the Cantor set such that free points are dense. Firstly, we establish that for such a distal action $\alpha$ of a countable…
In this paper, we introduce the notions of topological pressure and measure-theoretic entropy for a free semigroup action. Suppose that a free semigroup acts on a compact metric space by continuous self-maps. To this action, we assign a…
Packing topological entropy is a dynamical analogy of the packing dimension, which can be viewed as a counterpart of Bowen topological entropy. In the present paper, we will give a systematically study to the packing topological entropy for…
For topologically mixing locally conformal semigroup actions generated by a finite collection of $C^{1+\alpha}$ conformal local diffeomorphisms, we provide a countable Markov partition satisfying the finite images and the finite cycle…
We continue our study of the outer Pinsker factor for probability measure-preserving actions of sofic groups. Using the notion of doubly quenched convergence developed by Austin, we prove that in many cases the outer Pinsker factor of a…
We prove that every expanding minimal semigroup action of $C^1$ diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold (resp. $C^{1+\alpha}$ conformal) is robustly minimal (resp. ergodic with respect to Lebesgue measure). We also show how, locally, a…
We prove existence of maximal entropy measures for an open set of non-uniformly expanding local diffeomorphisms on a compact Riemannian manifold. In this context the topological entropy coincides with the logarithm of the degree, and these…
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…
As the second part of a series on linear cocycles over chaotic systems, this paper establishes a "multiple covering principle" that robustly yields positive-entropy ergodic measures supported on fiberwise uniformly bounded orbits. Using…
Sofic entropy is an invariant for probability-preserving actions of sofic groups. It was introduced a few years ago by Lewis Bowen, and shown to extend the classical Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy from the setting of amenable groups. Some parts…
We provide a unifying approach which links results on algebraic actions by Lind and Schmidt, Chung and Li, and a topological result by Meyerovitch that relates entropy to the set of asymptotic pairs. In order to do this we introduce a…
This work is devoted to the study of minimal, smooth actions of finitely generated groups on the circle. We provide a sufficient condition for such an action to be ergodic (with respect to the Lebesgue measure), and we illustrate this…
We prove that a generic p.m.p. action of a countable amenable group $G$ has scaling entropy that can not be dominated by a given rate of growth. As a corollary, we obtain that there does not exist a topological action of $G$ for which the…
We prove pointwise and maximal ergodic theorems for probability measure preserving (p.m.p.) actions of any countable group, provided it admits an essentially free, weakly mixing amenable action of stable type $III_1$. We show that this…
We prove that every acylindrically hyperbolic group admits a minimal and extremely proximal action on a compact metrizable space. If there are no nontrivial finite normal subgroups, then the action is topologically free. This answers…
For a continuous semicascade on a metrizable compact set $\Omega $, we consider the weak$^{*}$ convergence of generalized operator ergodic means in ${\rm End}\, \, C^{*} (\Omega)$. We discuss conditions on the dynamical system under which…
Ergodic optimization aims to single out dynamically invariant Borel probability measures which maximize the integral of a given "performance" function. For a continuous self-map of a compact metric space and a dense set of continuous…
In this paper we study chaotic behavior of actions of a countable discrete group acting on a compact metric space by self-homeomorphisms. For actions of a countable discrete group G, we introduce local weak mixing and Li-Yorke chaos; and…
