Odometers and Toeplitz systems revisited in the context of Sarnak's conjecture

Tomasz Downarowicz, Stanisław Kasjan (2015)

Studia Mathematica

Although Sarnak's conjecture holds for compact group rotations (irrational rotations, odometers), it is not even known whether it holds for all Jewett-Krieger models of such rotations. In this paper we show that it does, as long as the model is at the same a topological extension, via the same map that establishes the isomorphism, of an equicontinuous model. In particular, we recover (after [AKL]) that regular Toeplitz systems satisfy Sarnak's conjecture, and, as another consequence, so do...

On almost specification and average shadowing properties

Marcin Kulczycki, Dominik Kwietniak, Piotr Oprocha (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study relations between the almost specification property, the asymptotic average shadowing property and the average shadowing property for dynamical systems on compact metric spaces. We show implications between these properties and relate them to other important notions such as shadowing, transitivity, invariant measures, etc. We provide examples showing that compactness is a necessary condition for these implications to hold. As a consequence, we also obtain a proof that limit shadowing in...

On approximation of homeomorphisms of a Cantor set

Konstantin Medynets (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We continue the study of topological properties of the group Homeo(X) of all homeomorphisms of a Cantor set X with respect to the uniform topology τ, which was started by Bezuglyi, Dooley, Kwiatkowski and Medynets. We prove that the set of periodic homeomorphisms is τ-dense in Homeo(X) and deduce from this result that the topological group (Homeo(X),τ) has the Rokhlin property, i.e., there exists a homeomorphism whose conjugacy class is τ-dense in Homeo(X). We also show that for any homeomorphism...

On condensing discrete dynamical systems

Valter Šeda (2000)

Mathematica Bohemica

In the paper the fundamental properties of discrete dynamical systems generated by an α -condensing mapping ( α is the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness) are studied. The results extend and deepen those obtained by M. A. Krasnosel’skij and A. V. Lusnikov in [21]. They are also applied to study a mathematical model for spreading of an infectious disease investigated by P. Takac in [35], [36].

On derivations and crossed homomorphisms

Viktor Losert (2010)

Banach Center Publications

We discuss some results about derivations and crossed homomorphisms arising in the context of locally compact groups and their group algebras, in particular, L¹(G), the von Neumann algebra VN(G) and actions of G on related algebras. We answer a question of Dales, Ghahramani, Grønbæk, showing that L¹(G) is always permanently weakly amenable. Then we show that for some classes of groups (e.g. IN-groups) the homology of L¹(G) with coefficients in VN(G) is trivial. But this is no longer true, in general,...

On enveloping semigroups of almost one-to-one extensions of minimal group rotations

Rafał Pikuła (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We consider a class of symbolic systems over a finite alphabet which are minimal almost one-to-one extensions of rotations of compact metric monothetic groups and provide computations of their enveloping semigroups that highlight their algebraic structure. We describe the set of idempotents of these semigroups and introduce a classification that can help distinguish between certain such systems having zero topological entropy.

On enveloping semigroups of nilpotent group actions generated by unipotent affine transformations of the torus

Rafał Pikuła (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Let G be a group generated by a set of affine unipotent transformations T: X → X of the form T(x) = A x + α, where A is a lower triangular unipotent matrix, α is a constant vector, and X is a finite-dimensional torus. We show that the enveloping semigroup E(X,G) of the dynamical system (X,G) is a nilpotent group and find upper and lower bounds on its nilpotency class. Also, we obtain a description of E(X,G) as a quotient space.

On heredity of strongly proximal actions

C. Robinson Edward Raja (2003)

Archivum Mathematicum

We prove that action of a semigroup T on compact metric space X by continuous selfmaps is strongly proximal if and only if T action on 𝒫 ( X ) is strongly proximal. As a consequence we prove that affine actions on certain compact convex subsets of finite-dimensional vector spaces are strongly proximal if and only if the action is proximal.

On local aspects of topological weak mixing in dimension one and beyond

Piotr Oprocha, Guohua Zhang (2011)

Studia Mathematica

We introduce the concept of weakly mixing sets of order n and show that, in contrast to weak mixing of maps, a weakly mixing set of order n does not have to be weakly mixing of order n + 1. Strictly speaking, we construct a minimal invertible dynamical system which contains a non-trivial weakly mixing set of order 2, whereas it does not contain any non-trivial weakly mixing set of order 3. In dimension one this difference is not that much visible, since we prove that every continuous...

On some notions of chaos in dimension zero

Rafał Pikuła (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We compare four different notions of chaos in zero-dimensional systems (subshifts). We provide examples showing that in that case positive topological entropy does not imply strong chaos, strong chaos does not imply complicated dynamics at all, and ω-chaos does not imply Li-Yorke chaos.

On the Lyapunov numbers

Sergiĭ Kolyada, Oleksandr Rybak (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We introduce and study the Lyapunov numbers-quantitative measures of the sensitivity of a dynamical system (X,f) given by a compact metric space X and a continuous map f: X → X. In particular, we prove that for a minimal topologically weakly mixing system all Lyapunov numbers are the same.
