We introduce higher order regionally proximal relations suitable for an arbitrary acting group. For minimal abelian group actions, these relations coincide with the ones introduced by Host, Kra and Maass. Our main result is that these…

In this paper we study the topological characteristic factors along cubes of minimal systems. It is shown that up to proximal extensions the pro-nilfactors are the topological characteristic factors along cubes of minimal systems. In…

By proving the minimality of face transformations acting on the diagonal points and searching the points allowed in the minimal sets, it is shown that the regionally proximal relation of order $d$, $\RP^{[d]}$, is an equivalence relation…

Human social interactions are typically recorded as time-specific dyadic interactions, and represented as evolving (temporal) networks, where links are activated/deactivated over time. However, individuals can interact in groups of more…

This survey paper discusses behaviour of higher-order correlations for one-parameter dynamical systems and more generally for dynamical systems arising from group actions. In particular, we present a self-contained proof of quantitative…

A general framework for investigating topological actions of $Z^d$ on compact metric spaces was proposed by Boyle and Lind in terms of expansive behavior along lower-dimensional subspaces of $R^d$. Here we completely describe this expansive…

The regionally proximal relation of order $d$ along arithmetic progressions, namely ${\bf AP}^{[d]}$ for $d\in \N$, is introduced and investigated. It turns out that if $(X,T)$ is a topological dynamical system with ${\bf AP}^{[d]}=\Delta$,…

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…

A near permutation of a set is a bijection between two cofinite subsets, modulo coincidence on smaller cofinite subsets. Near permutations of a set form its near symmetric group. In this monograph, we define near actions as homomorphisms…

We propose and develop an approach to study nilsystems and their proximal extensions using cube structures associated with the universal minimal system. We provide alternative proofs for results regarding saturation properties of factor…

We determine all finite maximal elementary abelian group actions on compact oriented surfaces of genus $\sigma\geq 2$ which are unique up to topological equivalence. For certain special classes of such actions, we determine group extensions…

Complex systems often exhibit highly structured network topologies that reflect functional constraints. In this work, we investigate how, under varying combinations of system-wide selection rules and special agents, different classes of…

Let X be a normal affine T-variety of complexity at most one over a perfect field k, where T stands for the split algebraic torus. Our main result is a classification of additive group actions on X that are normalized by the T-action. This…

We develop $D$-optimal designs for linear models with first-order interactions on a subset of the $2^K$ full factorial design region, when both the number of factors set to the higher level and the number of factors set to the lower level…

Markov decision processes capture sequential decision making under uncertainty, where an agent must choose actions so as to optimize long term reward. The paper studies efficient reasoning mechanisms for Relational Markov Decision Processes…

For actions of amenable groups, mean equicontinuity-a natural relaxation of equicontinuity obtained by averaging metrics along orbits-is well known to yield a maximal mean equicontinuous factor. In 2021, Li and Yu introduced the notion of…

In this paper we study conditions under which a free minimal $\mz^d$-action on the Cantor set is a topological extension of the action of $d$ rotations, either on the product $\mt^d$ of $d$ 1-tori or on a single 1-torus $\mt^1$. We extend…

We present a purely enveloping semigroup proof of a theorem of Shao and Ye which asserts that for an abelian group $T$, a minimal flow $(X,T)$ and any integer $d \ge 1$, the regional proximal relation of order $d$ is an equivalence…

Ergodic theory, Higher order Fourier analysis and the hyper graph regularity method are three possible approaches to Szemer\'edi type theorems in abelian groups. In this paper we develop an algebraic theory that creates a connection between…

For an abelian group $G$, $\vec{g}=(g_1,\ldots,g_d)\in G^d$ and $\epsilon=(\epsilon(1),\ldots,\epsilon(d))\in \{0,1\}^d$, let $\vec{g}\cdot \epsilon=\prod_{i=1}^{d}g_i^{\epsilon(i)}$. In this paper, it is shown that for a minimal system…
