The sequence entropy for Morse shifts and some counterexamples
We discuss the existence of an uncountable strongly chaotic set of a continuous self-map on a compact metric space. It is proved that if a continuous self-map on a compact metric space has a regular shift invariant set then it has an uncountable strongly chaotic set in which each point is recurrent, but is not almost periodic.
A homeomorphism h:X → X of a compactum X is expansive provided that for some fixed c > 0 and any distinct x, y ∈ X there exists an integer n, dependent only on x and y, such that d(hⁿ(x),hⁿ(y)) > c. It is shown that if X is a circle-like continuum that admits an expansive homeomorphism, then X is homeomorphic to a solenoid.
We prove that every infinite nowhere dense compact subset of the interval is an -limit set of homoclinic type for a continuous function from to .
The topological centralizers of Toeplitz flows satisfying a condition (Sh) and their Z2-extensions are described. Such Toeplitz flows are topologically coalescent. If {q0, q1, ...} is a set of all except at least one prime numbers and I0, I1, ... are positive integers then the direct sum ⊕i=0∞ Zqi|i ⊕ Z can be the topological centralizer of a Toeplitz flow.
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...
We prove that the σ-ideal I(E) (of closed smooth sets with respect to a non-smooth Borel equivalence relation E) does not have the covering property. In fact, the same holds for any σ-ideal containing the closed transversals with respect to an equivalence relation generated by a countable group of homeomorphisms. As a consequence we show that I(E) does not have a Borel basis.
We construct strictly ergodic 0-1 Toeplitz flows with pure point spectrum and irrational eigenvalues. It is also shown that the property of being regular is not a measure-theoretic invariant for strictly ergodic Toeplitz flows.
