Weak isomorphisms between Bernoulli shifts

Weak isomorphisms between Bernoulli shifts

In this note, we prove that if G is a countable group that contains a nonabelian free subgroup then every pair of nontrivial Bernoulli shifts over G are weakly isomorphic.

Bernoulli Schemes and Their Isomorphisms

In these lectures I shall present some of the ideas and methods used in the proof of the celebrated theorem stating that two Bernoulli schemes are isomorphic if and only if they have the same entropy. I shall concentrate, because of lack of time, on a well known partial result, Sinai's theorem, which states that two Bernoulli schemes are weakly isomorphic if and only if they have the same entro...

Brooks’ theorem for Bernoulli shifts

If Γ is an infinite group with finite symmetric generating set S, we consider the graph G(Γ, S) on [0, 1]Γ by relating two distinct points if an element of s sends one to the other via the shift action. We show that, aside from the cases Γ = Z and Γ = (Z/2Z) ∗ (Z/2Z), G(Γ, S) satisfies a measure-theoretic version of Brooks’ theorem: there is a G(Γ, S)-invariant conull Borel set B ⊆ [0, 1]Γ and ...

Z Group Shifts and Bernoulli Factors

In this paper, a group shift is an expansive action of Zd on a compact metrizable zero dimensional group by continuous automorphisms. All group shifts factor topologically onto equal-entropy Bernoulli shifts; abelian group shifts factor by continuous group homomorphisms onto canonical equalentropy Bernoulli group shifts; and completely positive entropy abelian group shifts are weakly algebraica...
