Positive Entropy Actions of Countable Groups Factor onto Bernoulli Shifts
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that if a free ergodic action of a countably infinite group has positive Rokhlin entropy (or, less generally, positive sofic entropy) then it factors onto all Bernoulli shifts of lesser or equal entropy. This extends to all countably infinite groups the well-known Sinai factor theorem from classical entropy theory. We also use our methods to deduce spectral properties of positive entropy actions, and we show that the Koopman representation of a completely-positive-entropy action must be isomorphic to the countable direct sum of the left-regular representation.

Krieger’s Finite Generator Theorem for Actions of Countable Groups Ii
We continue the study of Rokhlin entropy, an isomorphism invariant for p.m.p. actions of countable groups introduced in the previous paper. We prove that every free ergodic action with finite Rokhlin entropy admits generating partitions which are almost Bernoulli, strengthening the theorem of Abért–Weiss that all free actions weakly contain Bernoulli shifts. We then use this result to study the...
متن کاملZ Group Shifts and Bernoulli Factors
In this paper, a group shift is an expansive action of Zd on a compact metrizable zero dimensional group by continuous automorphisms. All group shifts factor topologically onto equal-entropy Bernoulli shifts; abelian group shifts factor by continuous group homomorphisms onto canonical equalentropy Bernoulli group shifts; and completely positive entropy abelian group shifts are weakly algebraica...
متن کاملCost, `-Betti numbers and the sofic entropy of some algebraic actions
In 1987, Ornstein and Weiss discovered that the Bernoulli 2-shift over the rank two free group factors onto the seemingly larger Bernoulli 4-shift. With the recent creation of an entropy theory for actions of sofic groups (in particular free groups), their example shows the surprising fact that entropy can increase under factor maps. In order to better understand this phenomenon, we study a nat...
متن کاملBernoulli Actions and Infinite Entropy
We show that, for countable sofic groups, a Bernoulli action with infinite entropy base has infinite entropy with respect to every sofic approximation sequence. This builds on the work of Lewis Bowen in the case of finite entropy base and completes the computation of measure entropy for Bernoulli actions over countable sofic groups. One consequence is that such a Bernoulli action fails to have ...
متن کاملIsomorphism invariants for actions of sofic groups
For every countable group G, a family of isomorphism invariants for measurepreserving G-actions on probability spaces is defined. In the special case in which G is a countable sofic group, a special class of these invariants are computed exactly for Bernoulli systems over G. This leads to a complete classification of Bernoulli systems for many countable groups including all finitely generated l...
