Sofic Mean Length

چکیده
Given a length function L on the R-modules of a unital ring R, for any sofic group Γ, we define a mean length for every locally L-finite RΓ-module relative to a bigger RΓ-module. We establish an addition formula for the mean length. We give two applications. The first one shows that for any unital left Noetherian ring R, RΓ is stably direct finite. The second one shows that for any ZΓ-module M, the mean topological dimension of the induced Γ-action on the Pontryagin dual of M coincides with the von Neumann-Lück rank of M.

Sofic Mean Dimension
We introduce mean dimensions for continuous actions of countable sofic groups on compact metrizable spaces. These generalize the Gromov-LindenstraussWeiss mean dimensions for actions of countable amenable groups, and are useful for distinguishing continuous actions of countable sofic groups with infinite entropy.

Among the most familiar systems in symbolic dynamics are the subshifts of finite type, or SFT’s for short. SFT’s are relatively easy to analyze, and have many pleasant properties such as intrinsic ergodicity and unique ergodicity with respect to the tail. A larger class, which has the desirable property of being closed under factors, is that of sofic systems. This class of systems retains many ...
متن کاملQuantifier Extensions of Multidimensional Sofic Shifts
We define a pair of simple combinatorial operations on subshifts, called existential and universal extensions, and study their basic properties. We prove that the existential extension of a sofic shift by another sofic shift is always sofic, and the same holds for the universal extension in one dimension. However, we also show by a construction that universal extensions of twodimensional sofic ...
متن کاملPositive Sofic Entropy Implies Finite Stabilizer
We prove that, for a measure preserving action of a sofic group with positive sofic entropy, the stabilizer is finite on a set of positive measures. This extends the results of Weiss and Seward for amenable groups and free groups, respectively. It follows that the action of a sofic group on its subgroups by inner automorphisms has zero topological sofic entropy, and that a faithful action that ...
متن کاملSofic groups and profinite topology on free groups
We give a definition of weakly sofic groups (w-sofic groups). Our definition is rather natural extension of the definition of sofic groups where instead of Hamming metric on symmetric groups we use general bi-invariant metrics on finite groups. The existence of non w-sofic groups is equivalent to some conjecture about profinite topology on free groups.
