We show that if the complexity difference function p(n+1)-p(n) of a infinite minimal shift is bounded, then the the automorphism group of the one-sided shift is finite, and the automorphism group of the corresponding two-sided shift "modulo…

We show that every non-amenable free product of groups admits free ergodic probability measure preserving actions which have relative property (T) in the sense of S.-Popa \cite[Def. 4.1]{Pop06}. There are uncountably many such actions up to…

We show that $C^\infty$ surface diffeomorphisms with positive topological entropy have at most finitely many ergodic measures of maximal entropy in general, and at most one in the topologically transitive case. This answers a question of…

The paper is primarily concerned with the asymptotic behavior as $N\to\infty$ of averages of nonconventional arrays having the form $N^{-1}\sum_{n=1}^N\prod_{j=1}^\ell T^{P_j(n,N)}f_j$ where $f_j$'s are bounded measurable functions, $T$ is…

Random matrix models provide a phenomenological description of a vast variety of physical phenomena. Prominent examples include the eigenvalue statistics of quantum (chaotic) systems, which are conveniently characterized using the spectral…

The purpose of this paper is to study ergodic averages with deterministic weights. More precisely we study the convergence of the ergodic averages of the type $\frac{1}{N} \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} \theta (k) f \circ T^{u_k}$ where $\theta = (\theta…

For $m\ge 2$, let $\pi$ be an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of $GL_m(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}})$ with unitary central character. Let $a_\pi(n)$ be the $n^{th}$ coefficient of the $L$-function attached to $\pi$. Goldfeld and…

We prove that some ergodic linear automorphisms of $\T^N$ are stably ergodic, i.e. any small perturbation remains ergodic. The class of linear automorphisms we deal with includes all non-Anosov ergodic automorphisms when N=4 and so, as a…

We examine the relation between topological entropy, invertability, and prediction in topological dynamics. We show that topological determinism in the sense of Kamisky Siemaszko and Szymaski imposes no restriction on invariant measures…

A topological dynamical system $(X,T)$ is called CF-Nil($k$) if it is strictly ergodic and the maximal measurable and maximal topological $k$-step pro-nilfactors coincide as measure preserving systems. Through constructing specific…

The existence of measure preserving invertible transformations $T$ with simple spectrum is established possessing the following rate of correlation decay $(f(T^k x), f(x)) = O(|k|^{-1/2+{\epsilon}})$ for a dense family of functions $f$ and…

In this paper we study the longstanding conjecture of whether there exists a noninner automorphism of order $p$ for a finite non-abelian $p$-group. We prove that if $G$ is a finite non-abelian $p$-group such that $G/Z(G)$ is powerful then…

The article considers generic extensions of measure-preserving actions. We prove that the P-entropy of the generic extensions with finite P-entropy is infinite. This is exploited to obtain the result by Austin, Glasner, Thouvenot, and Weiss…

An ergodic self-joining of an infinite rank-one transformation is a part of the weak limit of off-diagonal measures. A class of uncountaible cardinality of nonisomorphic transformations with polynomial weak closure is presented. Such…

It is shown how to model any automorphism of a totally disconnected, locally compact group by a symbolic dynamical system. The model is an inverse limit of a product of a full-shift, on a finite number of symbols, with one of two types of…

We show that, for each finite algebra A, either it has symmetric term operations of all arities or else some finite algebra in the variety generated by A has two automorphisms without a common fixed point. We also show this two-automorphism…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and let $P$ be a principal $G$-bundle over $K$. The gauge group of $P$ is the topological group of automorphisms of $P$. For fixed $G$ and $K$, consider all principal $G$-bundles $P$ over $K$. It is…

We obtain a uniform ergodic theorem for the sequence $\frac1{s(n)} \sum_{k=0}^n(\varDelta s)(n-k)\,T^k$, where $\varDelta$ is the inverse of the endomorphism on the vector space of scalar sequences which maps each sequence into the sequence…

We prove that the restriction of a probability measure invariant under a nonhyperbolic, ergodic and totally irreducible automorphism of a compact connected abelian group to the leaves of the central foliation is severely restricted. We also…

Suppose that $X$ is a smooth, projective threefold over $\mathbb C$ and that $\phi : X \to X$ is an automorphism of positive entropy. We show that one of the following must hold, after replacing $\phi$ by an iterate: i) the canonical class…
