In this article we study the automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(X,\sigma)$ of subshifts $(X,\sigma)$ of low word complexity. In particular, we prove that Aut$(X,\sigma)$ is virtually $\mathbb{Z}$ for aperiodic minimal subshifts and certain…
Under the assumption of the gluing orbit property, equivalent conditions to having zero topological entropy are investigated. In particular, we show that a dynamical system has the gluing orbit property and zero topological entropy if and…
A countable group $G$ has the strong topological Rokhlin property (STRP) if it admits a continuous action on the Cantor space with a comeager conjugacy class. We show that having the STRP is a symbolic dynamical property. We prove that a…
Each topological group $G$ admits a unique universal minimal dynamical system $(M(G),G)$. When $G$ is a non-compact locally compact group the phase space $M(G)$ of this universal system is non-metrizable. There are however topological…
We show that a topological dynamical system is either minimal or have positive topological entropy. Moreover, for equicontinuous systems, we show that topological transitivity, minimality and orbit gluing property are equivalent. These…
We prove that the alternating group of a topologically free action of a countably infinite group $\Gamma$ on the Cantor set has the property that all of its $\ell^2$-Betti numbers vanish and, in the case that $\Gamma$ is amenable, is stable…
We introduce the property of having good subgroups for actions of countable discrete groups on compact metrizable spaces, and show that it implies comparison when the acting group is amenable. As a consequence, free actions on…
We show that for any uncountable cardinal $\lambda$, the category of sets of cardinality at least $\lambda$ and monomorphisms between them cannot appear as the category of point of a topos, in particular is not the category of models of a…
We show that within any strong orbit equivalent class, there exist minimal subshifts with arbitrarily low superlinear complexity. This is done by proving that for any simple dimension group with unit $(G,G^+,u)$ and any sequence of positive…
We prove that every infinite minimal subshift with word complexity $p(q)$ satisfying $\limsup p(q)/q < 3/2$ is measure-theoretically isomorphic to its maximal equicontinuous factor; in particular, it has measurably discrete spectrum. Among…
We study discrete dynamical systems through the topological concepts of limit set, which consists of all points that can be reached arbitrarily late, and asymptotic set, which consists of all adhering values of orbits. In particular, we…
We prove that for a suitably nice class of random substitutions, their corresponding subshifts have automorphism groups that contain an infinite simple subgroup and a copy of the automorphism group of a full shift. Hence, they are…
In a topological dynamical system the complexity of an orbit is a measure of the amount of information (algorithmic information content) that is necessary to describe the orbit. This indicator is invariant up to topological conjugation. We…
In connection with recent work on gaps in the asymptotic subranks of complex tensors the question arose whether the number of nonnegative real numbers that arise as the asymptotic subrank of some complex tensor is countable. In this short…
We develop topological dynamics for the group of automorphisms of a monster model of any given theory. In particular, we find strong relationships between objects from topological dynamics (such as the generalized Bohr compactification…
We introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous actions of compactly generated topological groups on compact Hausdorff spaces. It is shown that any continuous action of a compactly generated topological group on a compact…
Using tools from computable analysis we develop a notion of effectiveness for general dynamical systems as those group actions on arbitrary spaces that contain a computable representative in their topological conjugacy class. Most natural…
In this work we study the entropies of subsystems of shifts of finite type (SFTs) and sofic shifts on countable amenable groups. We prove that for any countable amenable group $G$, if $X$ is a $G$-SFT with positive topological entropy $h(X)…
We discuss the finiteness of the topological entropy of continuous endomorphims for some classes of locally compact groups. Firstly, we focus on the abelian case, imposing the condition of being compactly generated, and note an interesting…
The definition of subshifts of finite symbolic rank is motivated by the finite rank measure-preserving transformations which have been extensively studied in ergodic theory. In this paper we study subshifts of finite symbolic rank as…
