We refine two results in the paper entitled "Sofic mean dimension" by Hanfeng Li, improving two inequalities with two equalities, respectively, for sofic mean dimension of typical actions. On the one hand, we study sofic mean dimension of…
We investigate the dynamical property of the naive mean dimension for continuous actions of any countable group on compact metrizable spaces. It is shown that naive mean dimension serves as an upper bound of sofic mean dimension for actions…
We undertake a study of the conditional mean dimensions for a factor map between continuous actions of a sofic group on two compact metrizable spaces. When the group is infinitely amenable, all these concepts recover as the conditional mean…
Using a local perspective, we introduce \textit{mean dimension pairs} and give sufficient conditions of when every non-trivial factor of a continuous group action of a sofic group $G$ has positive mean dimension. In addition we show that…
A sofic approximation to a countable group is a sequence of partial actions on finite sets that asymptotically approximates the action of the group on itself by left-translations. A group is sofic if it admits a sofic approximation. Sofic…
Recently Bingbing Liang and Hanfeng Li computed the mean dimension and metric mean dimension for algebraic actions of amenable groups. We show how to extend their computation of metric mean dimension to the case of sofic groups, provided…
We introduce mean dimensions for continuous actions of countable sofic groups on compact metrizable spaces. These generalize the Gromov-Lindenstrauss-Weiss mean dimensions for actions of countable amenable groups, and are useful for…
For discrete measured groupoids preserving a probability measure we introduce a notion of sofic dimension that measures the asymptotic growth of the number of sofic approximations on larger and larger finite sets. In the case of groups we…
Let $K$ be a finite dimensional compact metric space and $K^\mathbb{Z}$ the full shift on the alphabet $K$. We prove that its mean dimension is given by $\dim K$ or $\dim K-1$ depending on the "type" of $K$. We propose a problem which seems…
In this paper, we study several finite approximation properties of topological full groups of group actions on the Cantor set such that free points are dense. Firstly, we establish that for such a distal action $\alpha$ of a countable…
For every infinite (countable discrete) amenable group $G$ and every positive integer $d$ we construct a minimal $G$-action of mean dimension $d/2$ which cannot be embedded in the full $G$-shift on $([0,1]^d)^G$.
We construct p.m.p. group actions that are not local-global limits of sequences of finite graphs. Moreover, they do not weakly contain any sequence of finite labeled graphs. Our methods are based on the study of almost automorphisms of…
We provide a quantitative formulation of the equivalence between hyperlinearity and soficity for amenable groups, effectively showing how every hyperlinear approximation to such a group is simulated by a suitable sofic approximation. The…
The study of subshifts on groups different from $\mathbb{Z}$, such as $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 2$, has been a subject of intense research in recent years. These investigations have unveiled aremarkable connection between dynamics and…
Let $\pi:(X,G)\to (Y,G) $ be a factor map between continuous actions of a sofic group $G$, we study sofic conditional mean dimension and relative sofic mean dimension introduced in \cite{LBB2} and \cite{LB}, respectively. We obtain that if…
A countable group G is called k-linear sofic (for some 0 <k \le 1) if finite subsets of G admit "approximate representations" by complex invertible matrices in the normalized rank metric, so that non-identity elements are k-away from the…
In a previous paper the authors developed an operator-algebraic approach to Lewis Bowen's sofic measure entropy that yields invariants for actions of countable sofic groups by homeomorphisms on a compact metrizable space and by…
The aim of this article is to find appropriate definitions for shifts of finite type and sofic shifts in a general context of symbolic dynamics. We start showing that the classical definitions of shifts of finite type and sofic shifts, as…
In this manuscript we study properties of multidimensional shifts. More precisely, we study the necessary and sufficient conditions for a shift to be sofic, i.e. the boundary between sofic shifts and effective ones. To this end, we use…
We investigate expansiveness, topological stability, and shadowing for continuous actions of semigroups on compact Hausdorff spaces. We characterize semigroups for which all full shifts are expansive. We show that every expansive continuous…
