We introduce amorphic complexity as a new topological invariant that measures the complexity of dynamical systems in the regime of zero entropy. Its main purpose is to detect the very onset of disorder in the asymptotic behaviour. For…
We consider the differential entropy of probability measures absolutely continuous with respect to a given $\sigma$-finite reference measure on an arbitrary measurable space. We state the asymptotic equipartition property in this general…
We study an entropy measure for quantum systems that generalizes the von Neumann entropy as well as its classical counterpart, the Gibbs or Shannon entropy. The entropy measure is based on hypothesis testing and has an elegant formulation…
The concept of entropy in statistical physics is related to the existence of irreversible macroscopic processes. In this work, we explore a recently introduced entropy formula for a class of stochastic processes with more than one absorbing…
The aim of this manuscript is to study some local properties of the topological entropy of a free semigroup action. In order to do that we focus on the set of entropy points of a free semigroup action, show that this set carries the full…
We define the notion of entropy for a cross section of an action of continuous amenable group and relate it to the entropy of the ambient action. As a result, we are able to answer a question of J.P. Thouvenot about completely positive…
The entanglement entropy of a pure quantum state of a bipartite system $A \cup B$ is defined as the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix obtained by tracing over one of the two parts. Critical ground states of local…
This paper introduces a concept for change-point detection based on normalized entropy as a fundamental metric, aiming to overcome the dependence of traditional entropy methods on assumptions about data distribution and absolute scales.…
The fundamental inequality of Guivarc'h relates the entropy and the drift of random walks on groups. It is strict if and only if the random walk does not behave like the uniform measure on balls. We prove that, in any nonelementary…
Let $\Gamma$ be a sofic group with a copy of $\mathbb{Z}$ in its center. We construct an uncountable family of pairwise nonisomorphic measure-preserving $\Gamma$ actions with completely positive entropy, none of which is a factor of a…
Controversy exists regarding the possible existence of a transition between the liquid and glassy states of water. Here we use experimental measurements of the entropy, specific heat, and enthalpy of both liquid and glassy water to…
We consider a smooth closed surface $M$ of fixed genus $\geqslant 2$ with a Riemannian metric $g$ of negative curvature with fixed total area. The second author has shown that the topological entropy of geodesic flow for $g$ is greater than…
We present a statistical mechanical description of randomly packed spherical particles, where the average coordination number is treated as a macroscopic thermodynamic variable. The overall packing entropy is shown to have two…
In this work, we introduce the notion of entropy at infinity, and define a wide class of noncompact manifolds with negative curvature, those which admit a critical gap between entropy at infinity and topological entropy. We call them…
The notion of topological entropy can be conceptualized in terms of the number of forward trajectories that are distinguishable at resolution $\varepsilon$ within $T$ time units. It can then be formally defined as a limit of a limit…
We extend the definition of algebraic entropy to endomorphisms of affine varieties. We calculate algebraic entropy of the action of elements of mapping class groups on various character varieties, and show that it is equal to a quantity we…
We establish connections between several properties of topological dynamical systems, such as: - every point is generic for an ergodic measure, - the map sending points to the measures they generate is continuous, - the system splits into…
The notion of group entropy is proposed. It enables to unify and generalize many different definitions of entropy known in the literature, as those of Boltzmann-Gibbs, Tsallis, Abe and Kaniadakis. Other new entropic functionals are…
In this expository paper we describe an unifying approach for many known entropies in Mathematics. First we recall the notion of semigroup entropy h_S in the category S of normed semigroups and contractive homomorphisms, recalling also its…
Our objective is to develop a stratified Morse theory with tangential conditions. We define a continuous strata-wise smooth Morse function on an abstract stratified space by using control conditions and radiality assumptions on the gradient…
