Recently Lewis Bowen introduced a notion of entropy for measure-preserving actions of countable sofic groups admitting a generating measurable partition with finite entropy; and then David Kerr and Hanfeng Li developed an operator-algebraic…

In this note a notion of generalized topological entropy for arbitrary subsets of the space of all sequences in a compact topological space is introduced. It is shown that for a continuous map on a compact space the generalized topological…

We show that, for countable sofic groups, a Bernoulli action with infinite entropy base has infinite entropy with respect to every sofic approximation sequence. This builds on the work of Lewis Bowen in the case of finite entropy base and…

In the present paper our main objective is to extend the notion of $D$-sets in countable amenable groups and to discuss its connection with weak mixing for amenable group actions. Further we prove that *-notions are equivalent in the…

Various lower bounds are established for the entropy of sums, products and their combinations. First, we derive a prime-field analogue of a version of the entropy power inequality established by Tao over torsion-free groups. Next, we prove…

In a previous paper the authors developed an operator-algebraic approach to Lewis Bowen's sofic measure entropy that yields invariants for actions of countable sofic groups by homeomorphisms on a compact metrizable space and by…

We define the topological pressure for any sub-additive potentials of the countable discrete amenable group action and any given open cover. A local variational principle for the topological pressure is established.

This paper investigates the asymptotic behaviour of the minimal number of generators of finite index subgroups in residually finite groups. We analyze three natural classes of groups: amenable groups, groups possessing an infinite soluble…

In this paper we study analogues of amenability for topological groups in the context of definable structures. We prove fixed point theorems for such groups. More importantly, we propose definitions for definable actions and continuous…

We continue the study of non-invertible topological dynamical systems with expanding behavior. We introduce the class of {\em finite type} systems which are characterized by the condition that, up to rescaling and uniformly bounded…

We introduce two notions of algebraic entropy for actions of cancellative right amenable semigroups $S$ on discrete abelian groups $A$ by endomorphisms; these extend the classical algebraic entropy for endomorphisms of abelian groups,…

Recently Lewis Bowen introduced a notion of entropy for measure-preserving actions of a countable sofic group on a standard probability space admitting a generating partition with finite entropy. By applying an operator algebra perspective…

The notion of topological entropy is originally defined for a single action. Later it was extended by Kieffer for arbitrary discrete amenable groups. Recently Friedland defined topological entropy for any discrete group actions amenable or…

Ergodic theory includes several notions of entropy for probability-preserving actions of countable groups. These include Kolmogorov--Sinai entropy based on F\o lner sequences for amenable groups, entropy defined using a random ordering of…

We prove that for any infinite countable amenable group $G$, any $\epsilon > 0$ and any finite subset $K\subset G$, there exists a tiling (partition of $G$ into finite "tiles" using only finitely many "shapes"), where all the tiles are $(K;…

For a given topological dynamical system $(X,T)$ over a compact set $X$ with a metric $d$, the "variational principle" states that \begin{equation*} \sup_{\mu}h_\mu(T) = h(T) = h_d(T), \end{equation*} where $h_\mu(T)$ is the…

Entropy of measure preserving or continuous actions of amenable discrete groups allows for various equivalent approaches. Among them are the ones given by the techniques developed by Ollagnier and Pinchon on the one hand and the…

In this paper we show that the minimal value of Furstenberg entropy (along all measures, not restricting to stationary ones) for any amenable action is the same as for the action of the group on itself. Using the boundary amenability result…

Let $(X,G)$ be a $G$-action topological system, where $G$ is a countable infinite discrete amenable group and $X$ a compact metric space. In this paper we study the upper capacity entropy and packing entropy for systems with weaker version…

A sofic approximation to a countable group is a sequence of partial actions on finite sets that asymptotically approximates the action of the group on itself by left-translations. A group is sofic if it admits a sofic approximation. Sofic…
