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…

Let $X$ be a compact metrizable group and $\Gamma$ a countable group acting on $X$ by continuous group automorphisms. We give sufficient conditions under which the dynamical system $(X,\Gamma)$ is surjunctive, i.e., every injective…

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 give sufficient conditions for a predicate P in a complete theory T to be stably embedded: P with its induced 0-definable structure has "finite rank", P has NIP in T and P is 1-stably embedded. This generalizes recent work by Hasson and…

In this paper, we study affine transformations on tori, nilmanifolds and compact abelian groups. For these systems, we show that an equivalent condition for zero entropy is the orbit closure of each point has a nice structure. To be…

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…

For a fixed topological Markov shift, we consider measure-preserving dynamical systems of Gibbs measures for 2-locally constant functions on the shift. We also consider isomorphisms between two such systems. We study the set of all…

For systems described by finite matrices, an affine form is developed for the maps that describe evolution of density matrices for a quantum system that interacts with another. This is established directly from the Heisenberg picture. It…

We prove that a set of finite perimeter is indecomposable if and only if it is, up to a choice of suitable representative, connected in the 1-fine topology. This gives a topological characterization of indecomposability which is new even in…

Given a countable group $G$ and two subshifts $X$ and $Y$ over $G$, a continuous, shift-commuting map $\phi : X \to Y$ is called a homomorphism. Our main result states that if every finitely generated subgroup of $G$ has polynomial growth,…

In this paper we investigate aspects of rigidity and flexibility for conformal iterated function systems. For the case in which the systems are not essentially affine we show that two such systems are conformal equivalent if and only if in…

A topological space (not necessarily simply connected) is said to have finite homotopy rank-sum if the sum of the ranks of all higher homotopy groups (from the second homotopy group onward) is finite. In this article, we consider Stein…

We define some pointwise properties of topological dynamical systems and give pointwise conditions for such a system possesses positive topological entropy. We give sufficient conditions to obtain positive topological entropy for maps which…

We prove that for any field k of characteristic p>0, any separated scheme X of finite type over k, and any overconvergent F-isocrystal E over X, the rigid cohomology H^i(X, E) and rigid cohomology with compact supports H^i_c(X,E) are finite…

This article is devoted to study which conditions imply that a topological dynamical system is mean sensitive and which do not. Among other things we show that every uniquely ergodic, mixing system with positive entropy is mean sensitive.…

We study the interaction between the group law on an abelian variety and the additive structure induced on its image under a morphism to projective space. Let $A/F$ be a simple abelian variety, $f:A \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ be a morphism…

A topological dynamical system $(X,f)$ induces two natural systems, one is on the probability measure spaces and other one is on the hyperspace. We introduce a concept for these two spaces, which is called entropy order, and prove that it…

We prove that if a framework of a graph is neighborhood affine rigid in $d$-dimensions (or has the stronger property of having an equilibrium stress matrix of rank $n-d-1$) then it has an affine flex (an affine, but non Euclidean, transform…

We study the directional entropy of the dynamical system associated to a $\Z^2$ configuration in a finite alphabet. We show that under local assumptions on the complexity, either every direction has zero topological entropy or some…

Let G be a reductive algebraic group and let H be a reductive subgroup of G. We describe all pairs (G,H) such that for any affine G-variety X with a dense G-orbit isomorphic to G/H the number of G-orbits in X is finite. The maximal number…
