On the relation between topological entropy and asymptotic pairs
Jan 27, 11:10—12:00, 2020, -101
Speaker
Sebastián Barbieri (Université de Bordeaux)
Abstract
I will present some results that state that under certain topological conditions, any action of a countable amenable group with positive topological entropy admits off-diagonal asymptotic pairs. I shall explain the latest results on this topic and present a new approach, inspired from thermodynamical formalism and developed in collaboration with Felipe García-Ramos and Hanfeng Li, which unifies all previous results and yields new classes of algebraic actions for which positive entropy yields non-triviality of their associated homoclinic group.
