Open Systems Theory

In this discussion paper we argue that category theory may play a useful role in formulating, and perhaps proving, results in ergodic theory, topogical dynamics and open systems theory (control theory). As examples, we show how to characterize Kolmogorov–Sinai, Shannon entropy and topological entropy as the unique functors to the nonnegative reals satisfying some natural conditions. We also provide a purely categorical proof of the existence of the maximal equicontinuous factor in topological dynamics. We then show how to define open systems (that can interact with their environment), interconnect them, and define control problems for them in a unified way.

AbstractIf X is a compact metric space and T a homeomorphism of X we say (X, T) has almost minimal power joinings (AMPJ) if there is a dense GδX* in X such that for each finite set k, x∈(X*)k and l:k → ℤ−{0}, the orbit closure cl {} is a product of off-diagonals (POOD) on Xk. By an offdiagonal on Xk′, k′k we mean a set of the form (⊗,j∈k′Tm(j))Δ, Δ the diagonal in Xk′, m:k′→ℤ any function, and by a POOD on Xk we mean that k is split into subsets k′, on each Xk′ we put an off-diagonal and then we take the product of these.We show that examples of AMPJ exist and that this definition leads to a theory completely analogous to Rudolph's theory of minimal self-joinings in ergodic theory. In particular if (X, T) has AMPJ the automorphism group of T is {Tn}, T has only almost 1-1 factors (other than the trivial one) and the automorphism group and factors of ⊕i ∊ kT, k finite or countably infinite, can be very explicitly described. We also discuss ℝ-actions.

AbstractWe interpret the basic notions of topological dynamics in the model-theoretic setting, relating them to generic types of definable group actions and their generalizations.

The goal of this paper is to define the coset topological pressure for sub-additive potentials via separated sets on a compact metric group. Analogues of basic properties for topological pressure hold. This study also reveals a variational principle for the coset topological pressure. The process of the proof is quite similar to that of Cao, Feng and Huang's approximations, but the analysis needs more techniques of ergodic theory and topological dynamics.

Bounded Complexity

We study dynamical systems that have bounded complexity with respect to three kinds metrics: the Bowen metric $d_{n}$, the max-mean metric $\hat{d}_{n}$ and the mean metric $\bar{d}_{n}$, both in topological dynamics and ergodic theory. It is shown that a topological dynamical system $(X,T)$ has bounded complexity with respect to $d_{n}$ (respectively $\hat{d}_{n}$) if and only if it is equicontinuous (respectively equicontinuous in the mean). However, we construct minimal systems that have bounded complexity with respect to $\bar{d}_{n}$ but that are not equicontinuous in the mean. It turns out that an invariant measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ on $(X,T)$ has bounded complexity with respect to $d_{n}$ if and only if $(X,T)$ is $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$-equicontinuous. Meanwhile, it is shown that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ has bounded complexity with respect to $\hat{d}_{n}$ if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ has bounded complexity with respect to $\bar{d}_{n}$, if and only if $(X,T)$ is $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$-mean equicontinuous and if and only if it has discrete spectrum.
