AbstractFor every Perron number λ we construct an infinite collection of topological Markov shifts with entropy log λ whose spectra are disjoint except for the necessary conjugates of λ. This is used to show that Marcus' theorem about every Markov shift of entropy log n factoring onto the full n-shift does not extend to certain entropy values.

We construct and study C*-algebras associated with subshifts in symbolic dynamics as a generalization of Cuntz–Krieger algebras for topological Markov shifts. We prove some universal properties for the C*-algebras and give a criterion for them to be simple and purely infinite. We also present an example of a C*-algebra coming from a subshift which is not conjugate to a Markov shift.

AbstractWe prove that if ${\Sigma }_{\mathbf{A} } ( \mathbb{N} )$ is an irreducible Markov shift space over $ \mathbb{N} $ and $f: {\Sigma }_{\mathbf{A} } ( \mathbb{N} )\rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ is coercive with bounded variation then there exists a maximizing probability measure for $f$, whose support lies on a Markov subshift over a finite alphabet. Furthermore, the support of any maximizing measure is contained in this same compact subshift. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first proof beyond the finitely primitive case in the general irreducible non-compact setting. It is also noteworthy that our technique works for the full shift over positive real sequences.

AbstractWe give a complete characterization of the compact metric dynamical systems that appear as boundaries of the canonical compactification of a locally compact countable state mixing Markov shift. Consider such a compact metric dynamical system. Then there is a pair of non-conjugate Markov shifts with conjugate canonical compactifications, one of which has the given compact system as canonical boundary.

AbstractLet $\mathscr{S}$ be an irreducible topological Markov shift, and let μ be a shift-invariant Gibbs measure on $\mathscr{S}$. Let (Xn)n ≥ 1 be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with common law μ. In this paper, we focus on the size of the covering of $\mathscr{S}$ by the balls B(Xn, n−s). This generalises the original Dvoretzky problem by considering random coverings of fractal sets by non-homogeneously distributed balls. We compute the almost sure dimension of lim supn →+∞B(Xn, n−s) for every s ≥ 0, which depends on s and the multifractal features of μ. Our results include the inhomogeneous covering of $\mathbb{T}^d$ and Sierpinski carpets.

Let $A$ be an $N\times N$ irreducible matrix with entries in $\{0,1\}$. We present an easy way to find an $(N+3)\times (N+3)$ irreducible matrix $\bar {A}$ with entries in $\{0,1\}$ such that the associated Cuntz-Krieger algebras ${\mathcal {O}}_A$ and ${\mathcal {O}}_{\bar {A}}$ are isomorphic and $\det (1 -A) = - \det (1-\bar {A})$. As a consequence, we find that two Cuntz-Krieger algebras ${\mathcal {O}}_A$ and ${\mathcal {O}}_B$ are isomorphic if and only if the one-sided topological Markov shift $(X_A, \sigma _A)$ is continuously orbit equivalent to either $(X_B, \sigma _B)$ or $(X_{\bar {B}}, \sigma _{\bar {B}})$.

We introduce a tree structure for the iterates of symmetric bimodal maps and identify a subset which we prove to be isomorphic to the family of unimodal maps. This subset is used as a second factor for a∗-product that we define in the space of bimodal kneading sequences. Finally, we give some properties for this product and study the∗-product induced on the associated Markov shifts.

Abstract A celebrated theorem of Douglas Lind states that a positive real number is equal to the spectral radius of some integral primitive matrix, if and only if, it is a Perron algebraic integer. Given a Perron number p, we prove that there is an integral irreducible matrix with spectral radius p, and with dimension bounded above in terms of the algebraic degree, the ratio of the first two largest Galois conjugates, and arithmetic information about the ring of integers of its number field. This arithmetic information can be taken to be either the discriminant or the minimal Hermite-like thickness. Equivalently, given a Perron number p, there is an irreducible shift of finite type with entropy $\log (p)$ defined as an edge shift on a graph whose number of vertices is bounded above in terms of the aforementioned data.

Abstract We study the possible dynamical degrees of automorphisms of the affine space $\mathbb {A}^n$ . In dimension $n=3$ , we determine all dynamical degrees arising from the composition of an affine automorphism with a triangular one. This generalizes the easier case of shift-like automorphisms which can be studied in any dimension. We also prove that each weak Perron number is the dynamical degree of an affine-triangular automorphism of the affine space $\mathbb {A}^n$ for some n, and we give the best possible n for quadratic integers, which is either $3$ or $4$ .
