This paper extends those of Glendinning and Sidorov [3] and of Hare and Sidorov [6] from the case of the doubling map to the more general $\beta$-transformation. Let $\beta \in (1,2)$ and consider the $\beta$-transformation…
For any fixed alphabet A, the maximum topological entropy of a Z^d subshift with alphabet A is obviously log |A|. We study the class of nearest neighbor Z^d shifts of finite type which have topological entropy very close to this maximum,…
We study a three-dimensional plaquette spin model whose low temperature dynamics is glassy, due to localised defects and effective kinetic constraints. While the thermodynamics of this system is smooth at all temperatures, we show that…
Countable Markov shifts, denoted by $\Sigma_A$ for a 0-1 infinite matrix $A$, are central objects in symbolic dynamics and ergodic theory. R. Exel and M. Laca introduced the corresponding operator algebras, a generalization of the…
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…
Motivated from the study of multiple ergodic average, the investigation of multiplicative shift spaces has drawn much of interest among researchers. This paper focuses on the relation of topologically mixing properties between…
The Dwyer-Fried invariants of a finite cell complex X are the subsets \Omega^i_r(X) of the Grassmannian of r-planes in H^1(X,\Q) which parametrize the regular \Z^r-covers of X having finite Betti numbers up to degree i. In previous work, we…
Higher-order beta-matching is the following decision problem: given two simply typed lambda-terms, can the first term be instantiated to be beta-equivalent to the second term? This problem was formulated by Huet in the 1970s and shown…
We propose strongly consistent estimators of the $\ell_1$ norm of the sequence of $\alpha$-mixing (respectively $\beta$-mixing) coefficients of a stationary ergodic process. We further provide strongly consistent estimators of individual…
We investigate the dynamics of substitution subshifts and their associated tiling spaces. For a given subshift, the associated tiling spaces are all homeomorphic, but their dynamical properties may differ. We give criteria for such a tiling…
A finite-temperature ($T>0$) study of a model of a mixture of spin-zero hardcore bosons and spinless fermions, with filling fractions $\rho_B$ and $\rho_F$, respectively, on a two-dimensional square lattice with composite hopping $t$ is…
We present a technique to lift some tilings of the discrete hyperbolic plane -- tilings defined by a 1D substitution -- into a zero entropy subshift of finite type (SFT) on non-abelian amenable Baumslag-Solitar groups $BS(1,n)$ for…
We investigate generic properties (i.e. properties corresponding to residual sets) in the space of subshifts with the Hausdorff metric. Our results deal with four spaces: the space $\mathbf{S}$ of all subshifts, the space…
The nonet symmetry scheme seems to describe rather well the masses and $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing angle of the ground state pseudo-scalar mesons and is thus expected to be also a good approximation for the matrix elements of the…
Some years ago, Fendley found an explicit solution to Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equation for a N=2 supersymmetric theory in 2D with a specific F-term. Motivated by this, we seek for explicit solutions for other super-potential cases…
Supermodeling is a modern, model-ensembling paradigm that integrates several self-synchronized imperfect sub-models by controlling a few meta-parameters to generate more accurate predictions of complex systems' dynamics. Continual…
We present an extended framework for hybrid finite element approximations of self-adjoint, positive definite operators. It covers the cases of primal, mixed, and ultraweak formulations, both at the continuous and discrete levels, and gives…
We introduce generalized $(\alpha,\beta)$-transformations, which include all $(\alpha,\beta)$ and generalized $\beta$-transformations, and prove that all transitive generalized $(\alpha,\beta)$-transformations satisfy the level-2 large…
We explore a more general class of soft supersymmetry-breaking masses and interactions than that usually considered, both in general and in the MSSM context, where our results for the one-loop $\beta$-functions correct some errors in the…
We provide a new proof of the sharpness of the phase transition for Bernoulli percolation and the Ising model. The proof applies to infinite range models on arbitrary locally finite transitive infinite graphs. For Bernoulli percolation, we…
