We define a new class of shift spaces which contains a number of classes of interest, like Sturmian shifts used in discrete geometry. We show that this class is closed under two natural transformations. The first one is called conjugacy and…
Krieger's embedding theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions for an arbitrary subshift to embed in a given topologically mixing $\mathbb{Z}$-subshift of finite type. For some $\mathbb{Z}^d$-subshifts of finite type, Lightwood…
Let $G$ be a group with undecidable domino problem, such as $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We prove that all nontrivial dynamical properties for sofic $G$-subshifts are undecidable, that this is not true for $G$-SFTs, and an undecidability result for…
This paper focuses on flow-adapted point-shifts of point processes on topological groups, which map points of a point process to other points of the point process in a translation invariant way. Foliations and connected components generated…
Given any two forests (pseudoforests) with the same degree sequence, we show that one can be transformed into the other by a sequence of 2-switches in such a way that all the intermediate graphs of the transformation are forests…
In this brief sequel to a previous article, we recall the notion of a cut cellular surface (CCS), being a surface with boundary, which is cut in a specified way to be represented in the plane, and is composed of 0-, 1- and 2-cells. We…
A skew morphism of a finite group $A$ is a permutation $\varphi$ of $A$ fixing the identity element and for which there is an integer-valued function $\pi$ on $A$ such that $\varphi(ab)=\varphi(a)\varphi^{\pi(a)}(b)$ for all $a, b \in A$. A…
We study common frequently hypercyclic vectors for countable families of weighted backward shifts acting on $\ell_p$ spaces, $1\leq p<\infty$. Using probabilistic techniques, we develop a general existence criterion, complemented by a…
We study an abstract group of reversible Turing machines. In our model, each machine is interpreted as a homeomorphism over a space which represents a tape filled with symbols and a head carrying a state. These homeomorphisms can only…
We introduce a new class of partial actions of free groups on totally disconnected compact Hausdorff spaces, which we call convex subshifts. These serve as an abstract framework for the partial actions associated with finite separated…
We obtain a Disjoint Frequent Hypercyclicity Criterion and show that it characterizes disjoint frequent hypercyclicity for a family of unilateral pseudo-shifts on $c_0(\mathbb{N})$ and $\ell^p(\mathbb{N})$, $1\le p <\infty$. As an…
A homshift is a $d$-dimensional shift of finite type which arises as the space of graph homomorphisms from the grid graph $\mathbb Z^d$ to a finite connected undirected graph $G$. While shifts of finite type are known to be mired by the…
We give an explicit construction of a large subset of F^n, where F is a finite field, that has small intersection with any affine variety of fixed dimension and bounded degree. Our construction generalizes a recent result of Dvir and Lovett…
We explicitly construct a strongly aperiodic subshift of finite type for the discrete Heisenberg group. Our example builds on the classical aperiodic tilings of the plane due to Raphael Robinson. Extending those tilings to the Heisenberg…
A code ${\mathcal C}$ is a subset of the vertex set of a Hamming graph $H(n,q)$, and ${\mathcal C}$ is $2$-neighbour-transitive if the automorphism group $G={\rm Aut}({\mathcal C})$ acts transitively on each of the sets ${\mathcal C}$,…
Given a transitive permutation group, a fundamental object for studying its higher transitivity properties is the permutation action of its isotropy subgroup. We reverse this relationship and introduce a universal construction of infinite…
A homeomorphism f of a manifold M is called H_1-transitive if there is a transitive lift of an iterate of f to the universal Abelian cover \tM. Roughly speaking, this means that f has orbits which repeatedly and densely explore all elements…
Given an irreducible sofic shift X, we show that an an irreducible SFT Y of lower entropy is a factor of X if and only if it is a factor of X by an open bi-continuing code. If these equivalent conditions hold and Y is mixing, then any code…
Working in the soft-element (classical) viewpoint, we introduce \emph{soft bitopological groups}: soft groups endowed with two soft topologies such that the induced topologies on the set of soft elements make the soft-element group into a…
We say that a subset $S$ of an infinite group $G$ is a Ramsey-product subset if, for any infinite subsets $X$, $Y$ of $G$, there exist $x \in X$ and $y\in Y$ such that $x y \in S$ and $ y x \in S$ . We show that the family $\varphi$ of all…
