We study the problem on the weak-star decomposability of a topological $\mathbb{N}_{0}$-dynamical system $(\Omega,\varphi)$, where $\varphi$ is an endomorphism of a metric compact set $\Omega$, into ergodic components in terms of the…

We investigate substitution subshifts and tiling dynamical systems arising from the substitutions (1) \theta : 0 \rightarrow 001,1 \rightarrow 11001 and (2) \eta : 0 \rightarrow 001,1 \rightarrow 11100. We show that the substitution…

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…

Given a dynamical system $(X,T)$ one can define a speedup of $(X,T)$ as another dynamical system conjugate to $S:X\rightarrow X$ where $S(x)=T^{p(x)}(x)$ for some function $p:X\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}^{+}$. In $1985$ Arnoux, Ornstein, and…

We say that a set of pairs of disjoint cycles $\Lambda(G)$ of a graph $G$ is linked if for any spatial embedding $f$ of $G$ there exists an element $\lambda$ of $\Lambda(G)$ such that the $2$-component link $f(\lambda)$ is nonsplittable,…

We investigate Sarnak's M\"obius Disjointness Conjecture through asymptotically periodic functions. It is shown that Sarnak's conjecture for rigid dynamical systems is equivalent to the disjointness of M\"obius from asymptotically periodic…

A homographic map in the field of $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb{Q}_p}$ is studied as a dynamical system on $\mathbb{P}^{1}(\mathbb{Q}_p)$, the projective line over $\mathbb{Q}_p$. If such a system admits one or two fixed points in…

We study minimal sets on continua $X$ with a dense free interval $J$ and a locally connected remainder. This class of continua includes important spaces such as the topologist's sine curve or the Warsaw circle. In the case when minimal sets…

For a finite group G of Lie type and a prime p, we compare the automorphism groups of the fusion and linking systems of G at p with the automorphism group of G itself. When p is the defining characteristic of G, they are all isomorphic,…

We prove the existence of minimal heteroclinic orbits for a class of fourth order O.D.E. systems with variational structure. In our general set-up, the set of equilibria of these systems is a union of manifolds, and the heteroclinic orbits…

We use the structure theory of minimal dynamical systems to show that, for a general group $\Gamma$, a tame, metric, minimal dynamical system $(X, \Gamma)$ has the following structure: \begin{equation*} \xymatrix {& \tilde{X} \ar[dd]_\pi…

We provide a classification of minimal sets of homeomorphisms of the two-torus, in terms of the structure of their complement. We show that this structure is exactly one of the following types: (1) a disjoint union of topological disks, or…

For a family F (a collection of subsets of Z_+), the notion of F-independence is defined both for topological dynamics (t.d.s.) and measurable dynamics (m.d.s.). It is shown that there is no non-trivial {syndetic}-independent m.d.s.; a…

Let $\pi: (X,T)\rightarrow (Y,T)$ be a factor map of topological dynamics and $d\in {\mathbb {N}}$. $(Y,T)$ is said to be a $d$-step topological characteristic factor if there exists a dense $G_\delta$ set $X_0$ of $X$ such that for each…

In this paper we characterize tame dynamical systems and functions in terms of eventual non-sensitivity and eventual fragmentability. As a notable application we obtain a neat characterization of tame subshifts $X \subset \{0,1\}^{\mathbb…

A minimal system $(X,T)$ is topologically mildly mixing if all non-empty open subsets $U,V$, $\{n\in \Z: U\cap T^{-n}V\neq \emptyset\}$ is an IP$^*$-set. In this paper we show that if a minimal system is topologically mildly mixing, then it…

For a homeomorphism $T \colon X \to X$ of a Cantor set $X$, the mapping class group $\mathcal{M}(T)$ is the group of isotopy classes of orientation-preserving self-homeomorphisms of the suspension $\Sigma_{T}X$. The group $\mathcal{M}(T)$…

We show that for a minimal system $(X,T)$, the set of saturated points along cubes with respect to its maximal $\infty$-step pro-nilfactor $X_\infty$ has a full measure. As an application, it is shown that if a minimal system $(X,T)$ has no…

The main result of this paper is that two large collections of ergodic measure preserving systems, the Odometer Based and the Circular Systems have the same global structure with respect to joinings. The classes are canonically isomorphic…

We show that some $C^*$--dynamical systems obtained by "quantizing" classical ones on the free Fock space, enjoy very strong ergodic properties. Namely, if the classical dynamical system $(X, T, \m)$ is ergodic but not weakly mixing, then…
