Ergodicity and Mixing of Noncommuting Epimorphisms

On $L_1$-weak ergodicity of nonhomogeneous continuous-time Markov‎ ‎processes

‎In the present paper we investigate the $L_1$-weak ergodicity of‎ ‎nonhomogeneous continuous-time Markov processes with general state‎ ‎spaces‎. ‎We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for such‎ ‎processes to satisfy the $L_1$-weak ergodicity‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎we apply‎ ‎the obtained results to establish $L_1$-weak ergodicity of quadratic‎ ‎stochastic processes‎.

Periodic Points of Endomorphisms on Solenoids and Related Groups

This paper investigates the problem of finding the possible sequences of periodic point counts for endomorphisms of solenoids. For an ergodic epimorphism of a solenoid, a closed formula is given which expresses the number of points of any given period in terms of sets of places of finitely many algebraic number fields and distinguished elements of those fields. The result extends to more genera...

The Notion of Mixing and Rank One Examples

This paper discusses the relationships among mixing, lightly mixing, weakly mixing and ergodicity. Besides proving the hierarchy of these notions, we construct examples of rank one transformations that exhibit each of these behaviors to demonstrate the differences.

Center--like subsets in rings with derivations or epimorphisms

We introduce center-like subsets Z*(R,f), Z**(R,f) and Z1(R,f), where R is a ring and f is a map from R to R. For f a derivation or a non-identity epimorphism and R a suitably-chosen prime or semiprime ring, we prove that these sets coincide with the center of R.
