If $N \subset \R$ is a separable II$_1$-factor, the space $\Hom(N,\R)$ of unitary equivalence classes of unital *-homomorphisms $N \to \R$ is shown to have a surprisingly rich structure. If $N$ is not hyperfinite, $\Hom(N,\R)$ is an…
We argue that simple dynamical systems are factors of finite automata, regarded as dynamical systems on discontinuum. We show that any homeomorphism of the real interval is of this class. An orientation preserving homeomorphism of the…
Using tools from computable analysis we develop a notion of effectiveness for general dynamical systems as those group actions on arbitrary spaces that contain a computable representative in their topological conjugacy class. Most natural…
Binomial Cayley graphs are obtained by considering the binomial coefficient of the weight function of a given Cayley graph and a natural number. We introduce these objects and study two families: one associated with symmetric groups and the…
We consider Smale spaces, a particular class of hyperbolic topological dynamical systems, which include the basic sets for Smale's Axiom A systems. We present a homology theory for such systems which is based on the dimension group in the…
We define a notion of (one-sided) shift spaces over infinite alphabets. Unlike many previous approaches to shift spaces over countable alphabets, our shift spaces are compact Hausdorff spaces. We examine shift morphisms between these shift…
We study invariants for shifts of finite type obtained as the K-theory of various C*-algebras associated with them. These invariants have been studied intensely over the past thirty years since their introduction by Wolfgang Krieger. They…
\begin{abstract} In this paper, we investigate a shift arising from graph $G$. We prove that any $k$-dimensional shift of finite type can be generated through a $k$-dimensional graph. We investigate the structure of the shift space using…
This paper studies the problem of decomposing a low-rank matrix into a factor with binary entries, either from $\{\pm 1\}$ or from $\{0,1\}$, and an unconstrained factor. The research answers fundamental questions about the existence and…
We prove some "universality" results for topological dynamical systems. In particular, we show that for any continuous self-map $T$ of a perfect Polish space, one can find a dense, $T$-invariant set homeomorphic to the Baire space ${\mathbb…
We consider an intermediate factor situation in two categories: probability measure preserving ergodic theory and compact topological dynamics. In the first we prove a master-key theorem and examine a wide range of applications. In the…
We introduce the notion of quantum duplicates of an (associative, unital) algebra, motivated by the problem of constructing toy-models for quantizations of certain configuration spaces in quantum mechanics. The proposed (algebraic) model…
This paper studies the problem of decomposing a low-rank positive-semidefinite matrix into symmetric factors with binary entries, either $\{\pm 1\}$ or $\{0,1\}$. This research answers fundamental questions about the existence and…
Classification is a central problem for dynamical systems, in particular for families that arise in a wide range of topics, like substitution subshifts. It is important to be able to distinguish whether two such subshifts are isomorphic,…
This report introduces and investigates a family of metrics on sets of pointed Kripke models. The metrics are generalizations of the Hamming distance applicable to countably infinite binary strings and, by extension, logical theories or…
We study topological factors of rank-one subshifts and prove that those factors that are themselves subshifts are either finite or isomorphic to the original rank-one subshifts. Thus, we completely characterize the subshift factors of…
In these lectures we explain the intimate relationship between modular invariants in conformal field theory and braided subfactors in operator algebras. A subfactor with a braiding determines a matrix $Z$ which is obtained as a coupling…
A hyperfinite $II_1$ subfactor may be obtained from a symmetric commuting square via iteration of the basic construction. For certain commuting squares constructed from Hadamard matrices, we describe this subfactor as a group-type inclusion…
We show that a noncommutative dynamical system of the type that occurs in quantum theory can often be associated with a dynamical principle; that is, an infinitesimal structure that completely determines the dynamics. The nature of these…
For any $d \geq 1$, random $\mathbb{Z}^d$ shifts of finite type (SFTs) were defined in previous work of the authors. For a parameter $\alpha \in [0,1]$, an alphabet $\mathcal{A}$, and a scale $n \in \mathbb{N}$, one obtains a distribution…
