چکیده

We consider the entropy of systems of random transformations, where the transformations are chosen from the set of generators of a Z action. We show that the classical definition gives unsatisfactory entropy results in the higher-dimensional case, i.e. when d ≥ 2. We propose a new definition of the entropy for random group actions which agrees with the classical definition in the one-dimensional case, and which gives satisfactory results in higher dimensions. We identify the entropy by a concrete formula which makes it possible to compute the entropy in certain cases. Along the way, we show that the random version of Krieger’s theorem on the existence of finite generators is not valid.

Weak Equivalence of Stationary Actions and the Entropy Realization Problem

We initiate the study of weak containment and weak equivalence for μ-stationary actions for a given countable group G endowed with a generating probability measure μ. We show that Furstenberg entropy is a stable weak equivalence invariant, and furthermore is a continuous affine map on the space of stable weak equivalence classes. We prove the same for the associated stationary random subgroup (...

A subgroup formula for f-invariant entropy

We study a measure entropy for finitely generated free group actions called f-invariant entropy. The f-invariant entropy was developed by L. Bowen and is essentially a special case of his measure entropy theory for actions of sofic groups. In this paper we relate the f-invariant entropy of a finitely generated free group action to the f-invariant entropy of the restricted action of a subgroup. ...

Homoclinic Group, Ie Group, and Expansive Algebraic Actions

We give algebraic characterizations for expansiveness of algebraic actions of countable groups. The notion of p-expansiveness is introduced for algebraic actions, and we show that for countable amenable groups, a finitely presented algebraic action is 1-expansive exactly when it has finite entropy. We also study the local entropy theory for actions of countable amenable groups on compact groups...
