Shift spaces with the specification property are intrinsically ergodic, i.e. they have a unique measure of maximal entropy. This can fail for shifts with the weaker almost specification property. We define a new property called one-sided…
Characterized by bulk Dirac or Weyl cones and surface Fermi-arc states, topological semimetals have sparked enormous research interest in recent years. The nanostructures, with large surface-to-volume ratio and easy field-effect gating,…
The subject of topological defects has become a very attractive field of study given its apparent relevance to as diverse systems as the early universe and condensed matter. As usually envisaged the topology of the manifold M of the minima…
We show that a $C^1-$generic non partially hyperbolic symplectic diffeomorphism $f$ has topological entropy equal to the supremum of the sum of the positive Lyapunov exponents of its hyperbolic periodic points. Moreover, we also prove that…
The absolute sets of local systems on a smooth complex algebraic variety are the subject of a conjecture of N. Budur and B. Wang based on an analogy with special subvarieties of Shimura varieties. An absolute set should be the…
We show that the concept of topological order, introduced to describe ordered quantum systems which cannot be classified by broken symmetries, also applies to classical systems. Starting from a specific example, we show how to use pure…
In this brief note, we investigate the topological entropy for linear switched systems. Specifically, we use the Levi-Malcev decomposition of Lie-algebra to establish a connection between the basic properties of the topological entropy and…
Weak topological phases are usually described in terms of protection by the lattice translation symmetry. Their characterization explicitly relies on periodicity since weak invariants are expressed in terms of the momentum-space torus. We…
We define a hierarchy of systems with topological completely positive entropy in the context of continuous countable amenable group actions on compact metric spaces. For each countable ordinal we construct a dynamical system on the…
Topological entropy is a widely studied indicator of chaos in topological dynamics. Here we give a generalized definition of topological entropy which may be applied to set-valued functions. We demonstrate that some of the well-known…
Exceptional points (EPs) are non-Hermitian degeneracies where eigenvalues and eigenvectors coalesce, giving rise to unusual physical effects across scientific disciplines. The concept of EPs has recently been extended to nonlinear physical…
Transitivity, the existence of periodic points and positive topological entropy can be used to characterize complexity in dynamical systems. It is known that for graphs that are not trees, for every $\varepsilon>0,$ there exist (complicate)…
We use the non-proper Morse theory of Palais-Smale to investigate the topology of smooth closed subvarieties of complex semi-abelian varieties, and that of their infinite cyclic covers. As main applications, we obtain the finite generation…
The present work is devoted to an extension of the well-known Ehrling inequalities, which quantitatively characterize compact embeddings of function spaces, to more general operators. Firstly, a modified notion of continuity for linear…
In a topological dynamical system the complexity of an orbit is a measure of the amount of information (algorithmic information content) that is necessary to describe the orbit. This indicator is invariant up to topological conjugation. We…
Let (G,tau_G) be a topological group. We establish relationships between weakly almost periodic topologies on G coarser than tau_G, central idempotents in the weakly almost periodic compactification G^W, and certain ideals in the algebra of…
There are several different common definitions of a property in topological dynamics called "topological transitivity," and it is part of the folklore of dynamical systems that under reasonable hypotheses, they are equivalent. Various…
We introduce the notion of topological entropy of a formal languages as the topological entropy of the minimal topological automaton accepting it. Using a characterization of this notion in terms of approximations of the Myhill-Nerode…

This paper discusses the thermodynamic properties for certain time-dependent dynamical systems. In particular, we are interested in time-dependent dynamical systems with the specification property. We show that each time-dependent dynamical…
