We study a wide class of metrics in a Lebesgue space with a standard measure, the class of so-called admissible metrics. We consider the cone of admissible metrics, introduce a special norm in it, prove compactness criteria, define the…
Dendric shifts are defined by combinatorial restrictions of the extensions of the words in their languages. This family generalizes well-known families of shifts such as Sturmian shifts, Arnoux-Rauzy shifts and codings of interval exchange…
We study approximation schemes for shift spaces over a finite alphabet using (pseudo)metrics connected to Ornstein's $\bar{d}$ metric. This leads to a class of shift spaces we call $\bar{d}$-approachable. A shift space…
We consider in this paper the set of transfer times between two measurable subsets of positive measures in an ergodic probability measure-preserving system of a countable abelian group. If the lower asymptotic density of the transfer times…
Let $X$ be a normal and geometrically integral projective variety over a global field $K$ and let $\overline{D}$ be an adelic Cartier divisor on $X$. We prove a conjecture of Chen, showing that the essential minimum…
Let $S=\{s_i\in\mathbb N\cup\{0\}:0\leq s_i<s_{i+1}\}$ and let $d_{0}=s_{0}$ and $\Delta(S)=\{d_{n}\}_{n}$ where $d_{n}=s_{n}-s_{n-1}$. In this note, we show that an $S$-gap shift is subshift of finite type (SFT) if and only if $S$ is…
Ergodic optimization aims to describe dynamically invariant probability measures that maximize the integral of a given function. For a wide class of intrinsically ergodic subshifts over a finite alphabet, we show that the space of…
We provide an ergodic theory framework to study statistical properties of smooth sequences over the odd alphabet {1, 3}. The arithmetic nature of this alphabet yields a partition of the subshift of smooth sequences based on their local…
We establish a one-to-one correspondence between (i) exchangeable sequences of random variables whose finite-dimensional distributions are minimum (or maximum) infinitely divisible and (ii) non-negative, non-decreasing, infinitely divisible…
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 define weaker forms of topological and measure theoretical equicontinuity for topological dynamical systems and we study their relationships with systems with discrete spectrum and zero sequence entropy. In the topological category we…
We study transitive step skew-product maps modeled over a complete shift of $k$, $k\ge2$, symbols whose fiber maps are defined on the circle and have intermingled contracting and expanding regions. These dynamics are genuinely nonhyperbolic…
We present a streamlined proof of a result essentially present in previous work of the author, namely that for every set $S = \{s_1, s_2, \ldots\} \subset \mathbb{N}$ of zero Banach density and finite set $A$, there exists a minimal…
We define a morphic subshift as a subshift generated by the image of a substitution subshift by another substitution. In other words, it is the subshift associated with a ultimately periodic directive sequence. We present an efficient…
We prove that for every $\epsilon>0$ there exists a minimal diffeomorphism $f:\T^{2}\rightarrow\T^{2}$ of class $C^{3-\epsilon}$ and semiconjugate to an ergodic traslation, and have the following properties: zero entropy, sensitivity with…
Dimension groups are complete invariants of strong orbit equivalence for minimal Cantor systems. This paper studies a natural family of minimal Cantor systems having a finitely generated dimension group, namely the primitive unimodular…
We consider the problem of when a symbolic dynamical system supports a Borel probability measure that is invariant under every element of its automorphism group. It follows readily from a classical result of Parry that the full shift on…
In this paper, we explore the construction and dynamical properties of $\mathcal{S}$-limited shifts. An $S$-limited shift is a subshift defined on a finite alphabet $\mathcal{A} = \{1, \ldots,p\}$ by a set $\mathcal{S} = \{S_1, \ldots,…
Let $G$ be a countable infinite amenable group, $K$ a finite-dimensional compact metrizable space, and $(K^G,\sigma)$ the full $G$-shift on $K^G$. For any $r\in [0,{\rm mdim}(K^G,\sigma))$, we construct a minimal subshift $(X,\sigma)$ of…
We prove that every topologically transitive shift of finite type in one dimension is topologically conjugate to a subshift arising from a primitive random substitution on a finite alphabet. As a result, we show that the set of values of…
