The topological entropy versus level sets for interval maps

Jozef Bobok (2002)

Studia Mathematica

We answer affirmatively Coven's question [PC]: Suppose f: I → I is a continuous function of the interval such that every point has at least two preimages. Is it true that the topological entropy of f is greater than or equal to log 2?

The topological entropy versus level sets for interval maps (part II)

Jozef Bobok (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Let f: [a,b] → [a,b] be a continuous function of the compact real interval such that (i) c a r d f - 1 ( y ) 2 for every y ∈ [a,b]; (ii) for some m ∈ ∞,2,3,... there is a countable set L ⊂ [a,b] such that c a r d f - 1 ( y ) m for every y ∈ [a,b]∖L. We show that the topological entropy of f is greater than or equal to log m. This generalizes our previous result for m = 2.

The uniqueness of invariant measures for Markov operators

Tomasz Szarek (2008)

Studia Mathematica

It is shown that Markov operators with equicontinuous dual operators which overlap supports have at most one invariant measure. In this way we extend the well known result proved for Markov operators with the strong Feller property by R. Z. Khas'minski.

The universal minimal system for the group of homeomorphisms of the Cantor set

E. Glasner, B. Weiss (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Each topological group G admits a unique universal minimal dynamical system (M(G),G). For a locally compact noncompact group this is a nonmetrizable system with a rich structure, on which G acts effectively. However there are topological groups for which M(G) is the trivial one-point system (extremely amenable groups), as well as topological groups G for which M(G) is a metrizable space and for which one has an explicit description. We show that for the topological group G = Homeo(E) of self-homeomorphisms...

Théorème de Kurosh pour les relations d’équivalence boréliennes

Aurélien Alvarez (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

En théorie des groupes, le théorème de Kurosh est un résultat de structure concernant les sous-groupes d’un produit libre de groupes. Le théorème principal de cet article est un résultat analogue dans le cadre des relations d’équivalence boréliennes à classes dénombrables, que nous démontrons en développant une théorie de Bass-Serre dans ce cadre particulier.
