Hiroki Matui defined the concept of the topological group of an étale groupoid. In the case where the groupoid comes from a one-sided shift of finite type, he proved that the associated topological full group is finitely generated. We will show how to re-interpret these groups as tree almost automorphism groups and thus obtain compactly generated groups almost acting on trees.

This is the second survey talk in the series. See attached file.

In 1977 Sigmund proved that the space of ergodic measures supported on a basic set of an Axiom A diffeomorphism is path connected. In the talk I will describe a substantial generalization of this result to the space of hyperbolic ergodic measures supported on an isolated homoclinic class of a general diffeomorphism. Such homoclinic classes should be viewed as basic structural elements of any dynamics. Examples will be discussed. This is a joint work with A. Gorodetsky.
