We extend some properties of random walks on hyperbolic groups to random walks on convergence groups. In particular we prove that if a convergence group $G$ acts on a compact metrizable space $M$ with the convergence property then we can…

We prove that stable subgroups of Morse local-to-global groups exhibit a growth gap. That is, the growth rate of an infinite-index stable subgroup is strictly less than the growth rate of the ambient Morse local-to-global group. This…

In this paper we consider finitary symmetric random walks on groups. We construct new possible asymptotics for the drift. We show that the drift can be very close to linear ant yet sublinear. We also give estimates for entropy growth of…

We prove an entropy formula for certain expansive actions of a countable discrete residually finite group $\Gamma $ by automorphisms of compact abelian groups in terms of Fuglede-Kadison determinants. This extends an earlier result proved…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated amenable group. We study the space of shifts on $G$ over a given finite alphabet $A$. We show that the zero entropy shifts are generic in this space, and that more generally the shifts of entropy $c$ are…

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…

In this thesis, we provide an initial investigation into bounds for topological entropy of switched linear systems. Entropy measures, roughly, the information needed to describe the behavior of a system with finite precision on finite time…

We study the dynamics of the metrics generated by measure preserving transformations. We consider a sequence of average metrics and define the corresponding sequence of $\epsilon$-entropies ({\it scaling sequence}) of the measure with…

In this paper we prove the tail variational principle for actions of countable amenable groups. This allows us to extend some characterizations of asymptotic $h$-expansiveness from $\mathbb{Z}$-actions to actions of countable amenable…

For every countable infinite group that admits $\mathbb{Z}$ as a homomorphic image, we show that for each $m\in\mathbb{N}$, there exists a minimal action whose topological sequence entropy is $\log(m)$. Furthermore, for every countable…

Consider $\operatorname{Sym}(n)$, endowed with the normalized Hamming metric $d_n$. A finitely-generated group $\Gamma$ is \emph{P-stable} if every almost homomorphism $\rho_{n_k}\colon \Gamma\rightarrow\operatorname{Sym}(n_k)$ (i.e., for…

We study the entropy of pure shift-invariant states on a quantum spin chain. Unlike the classical case, the local restrictions to intervals of length $N$ are typically mixed and have therefore a non-zero entropy $S_N$ which is, moreover,…

In the present paper we study the thermodynamical properties of finitely generated continuous subgroup actions. We address a notion of topological entropy and pressure functions that does not depend on the growth rate of the semigroup and…

This paper is aim to extend Kenneth R. Berg's findings on the maximal entropy theorem and the ergodicity of measure convolution to the case of surjective homomorphisms. We further explores dynamical systems under surjective homomorphism in…

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…

We review subbadditivity properties of Shannon entropy, in particular, from the Shearer's inequality we derive the "infimum rule" for actions of amenable groups. We briefly discuss applicability of the "infimum formula" to actions of other…

We show that the typical dynamical system sometimes begins to behave like a non-deterministic system with a small classical entropy, and this behavior lasts an extremely long time, until the system starts decreasing entropy. Then again it…

We prove the continuity of asymptotic entropy, as a function of the step distribution, among non-degenerate probability measures with finite Shannon entropy on the free solvable group $S_{d,m}$ of rank $d\ge 3$ and derived length $m\ge 2$.

Dan Rudolph showed that for an amenable group $\Gamma$, the generic measure-preserving action of $\Gamma$ on a Lebesgue space has zero entropy. Here this is extended to nonamenable groups. In fact, the proof shows that every action is a…

We introduce the notion of dynamic asymptotic dimension growth for actions of discrete groups on compact spaces, and more generally for locally compact \'etale groupoids. Using the work of Bartels, L\"uck, and Reich, we bridge asymptotic…
