We show how the trajectories of $d$-dimensional cellular automata (CA) can be used to determine the ground states of $(d+1)$-dimensional classical spin models, and we characterise their quantum phase transition, when in the presence of a…

For a group $G$ and a finite set $A$, denote by $\text{CA}(G;A)$ the monoid of all cellular automata over $A^G$ and by $\text{ICA}(G;A)$ its group of units. We study the minimal cardinality of a generating set, known as the rank, of…

The dynamics of symbolic systems, such as multidimensional subshifts of finite type or cellular automata, are known to be closely related to computability theory. In particular, the appropriate tools to describe and classify topological…

This article presents a new characterization of controllability and regional controllability of Deterministic Cellular Automata (CA for short). It focuses on analyzing these problems within the framework of control theory, which have been…

We consider discrete and integer-valued cellular automata (CA). A particular class of which comprises "Hamiltonian CA" with equations of motion that bear similarities to Hamilton's equations, while they present discrete updating rules. The…

Using free probability constructions involving Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebras we show that the topological entropy of the free product of two automorphisms is equal to the maximum of the individual entropies. As applications we show that general…

A new formulation of special relativity is described. It is based on a postulate that the universe is a vast Cellular Automata (CA). We show that any CA model automatically leads to a maximum speed limit for the transfer of information from…

We summarize a recent study of discrete (integer-valued) Hamiltonian cellular automata (CA) showing that their dynamics can only be consistently defined, if it is linear in the same sense as unitary evolution described by the Schr\"odinger…

Cellular automata represent physical systems where both space and time are discrete, and the associated physical quantities assume a limited set of values. While previous research has applied cellular automata in modeling chemical,…

In this article we study a class of shift-invariant and positive rate probabilistic cellular automata (PCA) on rooted d-regular trees $\mathbb{T}^d$. In a first result we extend the results of [10] on trees, namely we prove that to every…

Cellular Automata (CA), as they are presented in the literature, are abstract mathematical models of computation. In this pa- per we present an alternate approach: using the CA as a model or theory of physical systems and devices. While…

Co-compact entropy is introduced as an invariant of topological conjugation for perfect mappings defined on any Hausdorff space(compactness and metrizability not necessarily required). This is achieved through the consideration of…

Cellular automata (CA) have long attracted attention as dynamical systems with local updating rules and yet can exhibit, for certain rules, complex, long space and time correlated patterns. This contrast with other rules which results in…

The structure of automorphism groups of $\kappa$-existentially closed groups are studied by Kaya-Kuzucuo\u{g}lu in 2022. It was proved that Aut(G) is the union of subgroups of level preserving automorphisms and $|Aut(G)|=2^\kappa$ whenever…
