The avalanche transformation as a model for avalanches in neural dynamics was introduced in [8] in 2008. Here we discuss this transformation in terms of group actions, random dynamics and skew products with a finite invariant measure. The results are based on [8]. Some open problems are mentioned.

Let Σ be a left amenable semigroup, and let {Tσ: σ ∊ Σ} be a representation of Σ as a semigroup of positive linear contraction operators on L1(X, 𝓐, p). This paper is devoted to the study of existence of a finite equivalent invariant measure for such semigroups of operators.

AbstractThe rigidity theorem for ergodic actions of semi-simple groups and their lattice subgroups provides results concerning orbit equivalence of the actions of these groups with finite invariant measure. The main point of this paper is to extend the rigidity theorem on one hand to actions of general Lie groups with finite invariant measure, and on the other to actions of lattices on homogeneous spaces of the ambient connected group possibly without invariant measure. For example, this enables us to deduce non-orbit equivalence results for the actions of SL (n, ℤ) on projective space, Euclidean space, and general flag and Grassman varieties.

AbstractGiven a connected Lie group G acting ergodically on a space S with finite invariant measure, one can ask when G will contain single elements (or one-parameter subgroups) that still act ergodically. For a compact simple group or the isometry group of the plane, or any group projecting onto such groups, an ergodic action may have no ergodic elements, but for any other connected Lie group ergodic elements will exist. The proof uses the unitary representation theory of Lie groups and Lie group structure theory.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we study discrete spectrum of invariant measures for countable discrete amenable group actions.</p><p style='text-indent:20px;'>We show that an invariant measure has discrete spectrum if and only if it has bounded measure complexity. We also prove that, discrete spectrum can be characterized via measure-theoretic complexity using names of a partition and the Hamming distance, and it turns out to be equivalent to both mean equicontinuity and equicontinuity in the mean.</p>

AbstractWe study the ergodic properties of a class of dynamical systems with infinite invariant measure. This class contains skew-products of Anosov systems with ℝd. The results are applied to theKproperty of skew-products and also to the ergodicity of the geodesic flow on abelian coverings of compact manifolds with constant negative curvature.
