Let $\mu$ be a Borel probability measure on a compact path-connected metric space $(X, \rho)$ for which there exist constants $c,\beta>1$ such that $\mu(B) \geq c r^{\beta}$ for every open ball $B\subset X$ of radius $r>0$. For a class of…

We consider a randomly forced Ginzburg-Landau equation on an unbounded domain. The forcing is smooth and homogeneous in space and white noise in time. We prove existence and smoothness of solutions, existence of an invariant measure for the…

We determine Furstenberg entropy spectra of ergodic stationary actions of $SL(d,\mathbb{R})$ and its lattices. The constraints on entropy spectra are derived from a refinement of the Nevo-Zimmer projective factor theorem. The realisation…

In this article, we prove Neveu decomposition for the action of the locally compact amenable semigroup of positive contractions on semifinite von Neumann algebras and thus, it entirely resolves the problem for the actions of arbitrary…

If $\mu $ is a positive Borel measure on the interval $[0, 1)$ we let $\mathcal H_\mu $ be the Hankel matrix $\mathcal H_\mu =(\mu_{n, k})_{n,k\ge 0}$ with entries $\mu_{n, k}=\mu_{n+k}$, where, for $n\,=\,0, 1, 2, \dots $, $\mu_n$ denotes…

We show that in a topological dynamical system $(X,T)$ of positive entropy there exist proper (positively) asymptotic pairs, that is, pairs $(x,y)$ such that $x\not= y$ and $\lim_{n\to +\infty} d(T^n x,T^n y)=0$. More precisely we consider…

We study a notion of entropy for probability measure preserving actions of finitely generated free groups, called f-invariant entropy, introduced by Lewis Bowen. In the degenerate case, the f-invariant entropy is negative infinity. In this…

The problem of positive Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of the Chirikov-Standard map with respect to the invariant Lebesgue measure on the two-dimensional is open. In 1999, we believed to have a proof that the entropy can be bounded below. This…

Akcoglu and Suchaston proved the following result: Let $T:L^1(X,{\cf},\m)\to L^1(X,{\cf},\m)$ be a positive contraction. Assume that for $z\in L^1(X,{\cf},\m)$ the sequence $(T^nz)$ converges weakly in $L^1(X,{\cf},\m)$, then either…

A short and elementary proof of the joint convexity of relative entropy is presented, using nothing beyond linear algebra. The key ingredients are an easily verified integral representation and the strategy used to prove the Cauchy-Schwarz…

We establish characterization results for the ergodicity of stationary symmetric $\alpha$-stable (S$\alpha$S) and $\alpha$-Frechet random fields. We show that the result of Samorodnitsky [Ann. Probab. 33 (2005) 1782-1803] remains valid in…

We establish an algebraic criterion which ensures the strict positivity of the entropy production in quantum models consisting of a small system coupled to thermal reservoirs at different temperatures.

For each \beta\in(0,+\infty) there exists a canonical measure \mu_\beta on the ring A_f of finite adeles. We show that the positive rationals act ergodically on (A_f,\mu_\beta) for \beta\in(0,1], and then deduce from this the uniqueness of…

If $\mu $ is a positive Borel measure on the interval $[0, 1)$, the Hankel matrix $\mathcal H_\mu =(\mu_{n,k})_{n,k\ge 0}$ with entries $\mu_{n,k}=\int_{[0,1)}t^{n+k}\,d\mu(t)$ induces formally the operator $$\mathcal{H}_\mu…

Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice of a semisimple Lie group $L$. Suppose that one parameter Ad-diagonalizable subgroup $\{g_t\}$ of $L$ acts ergodically on $L/\Gamma$ with respect to the probability Haar measure $\mu$. For certain proper subgroup…

We introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous actions of compactly generated topological groups on compact Hausdorff spaces. It is shown that any continuous action of a compactly generated topological group on a compact…

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…

We evaluate the quantum gravity partition function that counts the dimension of the Hilbert space of a simply connected spatial region of fixed proper volume in the context of Lovelock gravity, generalizing the results for Einstein gravity…

A result by Ornstein and Weiss states that a free and measure-preserving action of an amenable group on a probability space yields a decomposition of the space in disjoint images, up to a small error, analogous to the one given by the…

We discuss the finiteness of the topological entropy of continuous endomorphims for some classes of locally compact groups. Firstly, we focus on the abelian case, imposing the condition of being compactly generated, and note an interesting…
