The computation of the normaliser of a permutation group in the full symmetric group is an important and hard problem in computational group theory. This article reports on an algorithm that builds a descending chain of overgroups to…
In this work we study the entropies of subsystems of shifts of finite type (SFTs) and sofic shifts on countable amenable groups. We prove that for any countable amenable group $G$, if $X$ is a $G$-SFT with positive topological entropy $h(X)…
We classify finite groups in which the centralisers of certain non-central elements are soluble. This includes a full structural description of groups whose non-central element centralisers are all soluble, and a reduction theorem for the…
We consider positive entropy $G$-systems for certain countable, discrete, infinite left-orderable amenable groups $G$. By undertaking local analysis, the existence of asymptotic pairs and chaotic sets will be studied in connecting with the…
We investigate the structure of the centralizer and the normalizer of a local analytic or formal differential system at a nondegenerate stationary point, using the theory of Poincar\'e-Dulac normal forms. Our main results are concerned with…
This paper studies the behavior of the entropy numbers of classes of functions with bounded integral norms from a given finite dimensional linear subspace. Upper bounds of these entropy numbers in the uniform norm are obtained and applied…
We introduce subshifts of quasi-finite type as a generalization of the well-known subshifts of finite type. This generalization is much less rigid and therefore contains the symbolic dynamics of many non-uniform systems, e.g., piecewise…
We consider relative entropy in Field Theory as a well defined (non-divergent) quantity of interest. We establish a monotonicity property with respect to the couplings in the theory. As a consequence, the relative entropy in a field theory…
Entropy estimation is of practical importance in information theory and statistical science. Many existing entropy estimators suffer from fast growing estimation bias with respect to dimensionality, rendering them unsuitable for…
The paper is devoted to discretization of integral norms of functions from a given finite dimensional subspace. This problem is very important in applications but there is no systematic study of it. We present here a new technique, which…
We introduce the notion of \emph{topo-symmetric extensions} of topological groups, a new generalization of classical group extensions that incorporates both topological and symmetry constraints. We define morphisms between such extensions,…
We show that the values of entropies of multidimensional shifts of finite type (SFTs) are characterized by a certain computation-theoretic property: a real number $h\geq 0$ is the entropy of such an SFT if and only if it is right…
We survey the connections between entropy, chaos, and independence in topological dynamics. We present extensions of two classical results placing the following notions in the context of symbolic dynamics: 1. Equivalence of positive entropy…
A topological dynamical system $(X,f)$ induces two natural systems, one is on the probability measure spaces and other one is on the hyperspace. We introduce a concept for these two spaces, which is called entropy order, and prove that it…
We study centrality of morphisms in a setting derived from that of a pointed category in which binary products commute with coequalisers. The main results of this paper show that much of the behaviour of central morphisms for unital…
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…
It is well-known that when a positively expansive dynamical system is invertible then its underlying space is finite. C.Morales has introduced a decade ago a natural way to generalize positive expansiveness, by introducing other properties…
In this paper we revisit two concepts which were originally introduced by Aschbacher and are crucial in the theory of saturated fusion systems: Firstly, we give a new approach to defining the centralizer of a normal subsystem. Secondly, we…
We study dynamical systems with the property that all the nontrivial factors have infinite topological entropy (or, positive mean dimension). We establish an ``if and only if'' condition for this property among a typical class of dynamical…
Let $G$ be a finitely generated amenable group. We study the space of shifts on $G$ over a given finite alphabet $A$. We show that the zero entropy shifts are generic in this space, and that more generally the shifts of entropy $c$ are…
