Consider a H\"older continuous potential $\phi$ defined on the full shift $A^\nn$, where $A$ is a finite alphabet. Let $X\subset A^\nn$ be a specified sofic subshift. It is well-known that there is a unique Gibbs measure $\mu_\phi$ on $X$…

We show that for any invariant measure $\mu$ on a free group shift system, there are two numbers $h^\flat \leq h^\sharp$ which in some sense are the typical upper and lower sofic entropy values. We also give a condition under which $h^\flat…

We prove the explicit formula for sofic and Rokhlin entropy of actions arising from some class of Gibbs measures. It provides a new set of examples with sofic entropy independent of sofic approximations. It is particularilly interresting,…

Let $G$ be a sofic group, and let $\Sigma = (\sigma_n)_{n\geq 1}$ be a sofic approximation to it. For a probability-preserving $G$-system, a variant of the sofic entropy relative to $\Sigma$ has recently been defined in terms of sequences…

Assume that $(X,f)$ is a dynamical system and $\phi:X \to [-\infty, \infty)$ is a potential such that the $f$-invariant measure $\mu_\phi$ equivalent to $\phi$-conformal measure is infinite, but that there is an inducing scheme $F = f^\tau$…

For a locally compact sofic group continuously acting on a compact metric space, we first study the relative sofic entropy and prove an additive inequality relating sofic entropy and relative sofic entropy. Moreover, it is shown that the…

Let $(X,\mu)$ be a standard probability space. An automorphism $T$ of $(X,\mu)$ has the weak Pinsker property if for every $\varepsilon > 0$ it has a splitting into a direct product of a Bernoulli shift and an automorphism of entropy less…

We study an entropy measure for quantum systems that generalizes the von Neumann entropy as well as its classical counterpart, the Gibbs or Shannon entropy. The entropy measure is based on hypothesis testing and has an elegant formulation…

We study the entropy production of Gibbs (equilibrium) measures for chaotic dynamical systems with folding of the phase space. The dynamical chaotic model is that generated by a hyperbolic non-invertible map $f$ on a general basic (possibly…

Given an equilibrium state $\mu$ for a continuous function $f$ on a shift of finite type $X$, the pressure of $f$ is the integral, with respect to $\mu$, of the sum of $f$ and the information function of $\mu$. We show that under certain…

We show that the class of sofic actions is closed under direct products and contains a (non-unique) maximal element in the weak containment order. For any sofic group we construct nice sofic approximations such that all the sofic actions…

Sofic entropy is an invariant for probability-preserving actions of sofic groups. It was introduced a few years ago by Lewis Bowen, and shown to extend the classical Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy from the setting of amenable groups. Some parts…

Motivated by our previous results, we investigate structural properties of probability measure-preserving actions of sofic groups relative to their Pinsker factor. We also consider the same properties relative to the Outer Pinsker factor,…

We give a generator-free formulation of sofic measure entropy using finite partitions and establish a Kolmogorov-Sinai theorem. We also show how to compute the values for general Bernoulli actions in a concise way using the arguments of…
