We prove a rigidity property for mapping tori associated to minimal topological dynamical systems using tools from noncommutative geometry. More precisely, we show that under mild geometric assumptions, an orientation-preserving leafwise…

We study the properties of topological spaces $(X,\tau)$, where $X$ is a definable set in an o-minimal structure and the topology $\tau$ on $X$ has a basis that is (uniformly) definable. Examples of such spaces include the canonical…

In this paper we define contractive and nonexpansive properties for adapted stochastic processes $X_1, X_2, \ldots $ which can be used to deduce limiting properties. In general, nonexpansive processes possess finite limits while contractive…

In the present work we consider the behavior of the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of the 2-torus $T^2$ for an arbitrary Riemannian metric. A natural non-negative quantity which measures the complexity of the geodesic flow is the…

We introduce the concept of topological finite-determinacy for germs of analytic functions within a fixed ideal $I$, which provides a notion of topological finite-determinacy of functions with non-isolated singularities. We prove the…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a dynamical system to be topologically conjugate to any given substitution minimal system, thus extending the results in [CKL] for the Morse and Toeplitz substitutions.

In topological dynamics, tame and null systems arise naturally in the study of low-complexity aperiodic behaviour, yet providing concrete and easily testable conditions to establish their existence in a canonical class of systems is often…

Many branches of theoretical and applied mathematics require a quantifiable notion of complexity. One such circumstance is a topological dynamical system - which involves a continuous self-map on a metric space. There are many notions of…

Let $(X,\rho,G)$ be a $G-$action topological system, where $G$ is a countable infinite discrete amenable group and $X$ a compact metric space. We prove a variational principle for topological entropy of saturated sets for systems which have…

In [30] different statistical behavior of dynamical orbits without syndetic center are considered. In present paper we continue this project and consider different statistical behavior of dynamical orbits with nonempty syndetic center: Two…

Let G be a complex Lie group, G_R a real form of G and X a G_R-stable domain of holomorphy in a complex G-manifold. If there is a G_R-invariant strictly plurisubharmonic function on X which has certain exhaustion properties, then we show…

We study a notion of tight inclusions of C*- and W*-dynamical systems which is meant to capture a tension between topological and measurable rigidity of boundary actions. An important case of such inclusions are $C(X)\subset L^\infty(X,…

Let $\pi\colon T\times X\rightarrow X$ with phase map $(t,x)\mapsto tx$, denoted $(\pi,T,X)$, be a \textit{semiflow} on a compact Hausdorff space $X$ with phase semigroup $T$. If each $t\in T$ is onto, $(\pi,T,X)$ is called surjective; and…

The main result given in Theorem~1.1 is a condition for a map $X$, defined on the complement of a disk $D$ in R^2 with values in R^2, to be extended to a topological embedding of R^2, not necessarily surjective. The map $X$ is supposed to…

In this article, we consider the weighted ergodic optimization problem of a class of dynamical systems $T:X\to X$ where $X$ is a compact metric space and $T$ is Lipschitz continuous. We show that once $T:X\to X$ satisfies both the {\em…

We provide an upper bound on the topological complexity of twisted products. We use it to give an estimate $$TC(X)\le TC(\pi_1(X))+\dim X$$ of the topological complexity of a space in terms of its dimension and the complexity of its…

Let $\Lambda$ be a compact locally maximal invariant set of a $C^2$-diffeomorphism $f:M\to M$ on a smooth Riemannian manifold $M$. In this paper we study the topological pressure $P_{\rm top}(\phi)$ (with respect to the dynamical system…

For any $C\in[0,\infty]$ a compact group automorphism $T:X\to X$ is constructed with the property that $$ \frac{1}{n}\log|\{x\in X\mid T^n(x)=x\}|\longrightarrow C. $$ This may be interpreted as a combinatorial analogue of the (still open)…

We begin this note with a von Neumann algebraic version of the elementary but extremely useful fact about being able to extend inner-product preserving maps from a total set of the domain Hilbert space to an isometry defined on the entire…

Let $f: Y\to X$ be a morphism between smooth complex quasi-projective varieties and $Z$ be the closure of $f(Y)$ with $\iota: Z\to X$ the inclusion map. We prove that a. for any field $K$, there exist finitely many semisimple…
