We survey some connections between topological dynamics, semigroups of ultrafilters, and combinatorics. As an application, we give a proof, based on ideas of Bergelson and Hindman, of the Hales-Jewett partition theorem.
We treat here the interrelation between formal languages and those dynamical systems that can be described by cellular automata (CA). There is a well-known injective map which identifies any CA-invariant subshift with a central formal…
Let $G$ be a group. A subset $D$ of $G$ is a determining set of $G$, if every automorphism of $G$ is uniquely determined by its action on $D$. The determining number of $G$, denoted by $\alpha(G)$, is the cardinality of a smallest…
This work is devoted to the so-called filtration theory of semigroup generators in the unit disk. It should be noted that numerous filtrations studied to nowdays have been introduced for different purposes and considered from different…
In this paper, we study definably compact semigroups in o-minimal structures, aiming to extend the theory of definable groups to a broader algebraic setting. We show that any definably compact semigroup contains idempotents and admits a…
If a discrete subset S of a topological group G with the identity 1 generates a dense subgroup of G and S \cup {1} is closed in G, then S is called a suitable set for G. We apply Michael's selection theorem to offer a direct,…
Let $G$ be an abelian group, and $F$ a downward directed family of subsets of $G$. The finest topology $\mathcal{T}$ on $G$ under which $F$ converges to $0$ has been described by I.Protasov and E.Zelenyuk. In particular, their description…
The role of finite centralizers of involutions in pseudo-finite groups is analyzed. It is shown that a pseudo-finite group admitting a definable involutory automorphism fixing only finitely many elements is finite-by-abelian-by-finite. As a…
Originating in harmonic analysis, interpolation sets were first studied in dynamics by Glasner and Weiss in the 1980s. A set $S \subset \mathbb{N}$ is an interpolation set for a class of topological dynamical systems $\mathcal{C}$ if any…
Systems obtained by quotienting a subshift of finite type (SFT) by another SFT are called finitely presented in the literature. Analogously, if a sofic shift is quotiented by a sofic equivalence relation, we call the resulting system…
According to a conjecture of Lusztig, the asymptotic affine Hecke algebra should admit a description in terms of the Grothedieck group of sheaves on the square of a finite set equivariant under the action of the centralizer of a nilpotent…
In this paper subcentral (resp., central) idempotent series and composition subcentral (resp., central) idempotent series in an inverse semigroup are introduced and investigated. It is shown that if $S=EG$ is a factorizable inverse monoids…
We present a study of semigroup compactifications of a semitopological semigroup $S$ using certain filters on $S$. We characterize closed subsemigroups and closed left, right, and two-sided ideals in any semigroup compactification of any…
Stochastic differential equations describe well many physical, biological and sociological systems, despite the simplification often made in their derivation. Here the usage of simple stochastic differential equations to characterize and…
We develop categorical foundations of discrete dynamical systems, aimed at understanding how the structure of the system affects its dynamics. The key technical innovation is the notion of a cycle set, which provides a formal language in…
In this paper, we set up a general correspondence between the algebra properties of $\bN$ and the sets defined by dynamical properties. In particular, we obtain a dynamical characterization of C-sets, where C-sets are the sets satisfying…
We study skew-product dynamics for a large class of finitely-generated semi--hyperbolic semigroups of rational maps acting on the Riemann sphere, which generalizes both the theory of iteration of a single rational map of a single complex…
For a fixed C*-algebra A, we consider all noncommutative dynamical systems that can be generated by A. More precisely, an A-dynamical system is a triple (i,B,\alpha) where $\alpha$ is a *-endomorphism of a C*-algebra B, and i: A --> B is…
In a precedent article, we computed the set $\textbf{C}(K)$ of central elements of an unstable algebra $K$ over the Steenrod algebra, in the sense of Dwyer and Wilkerson, when $K$ is noetherian and $nil_1$-closed. For $K$ noetherian and $k$…
A discrete subset $S$ of a topological group $G$ is called a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S\cup \{e\}$ is closed in $G$ and the subgroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, where $e$ is the identity element of $G$. In this paper, the…
