Entropy of Hyperbolic Buildings

چکیده
We characterize the volume entropy of a regular building as the topological pressure of the geodesic flow on an apartment. We show that the entropy maximizing measure is not Liouville measure for any regular hyperbolic building. As a consequence, we obtain a strict lower bound on the volume entropy in terms of the branching numbers and the volume of the boundary polyhedrons.

Lattices in Hyperbolic Buildings
This survey is intended as a brief introduction to the theory of hyperbolic buildings and their lattices. Hyperbolic buildings are negatively curved geometric objects which also have a rich algebraic and combinatorial structure, and the study of these buildings and the lattices in their automorphism groups involves a fascinating mixture of techniques from many different areas of mathematics. Ro...
متن کاملHyperbolic Triangular Buildings Without Periodic Planes of Genus 2
We study surface subgroups of groups acting simply transitively on vertex sets of certain hyperbolic triangular buildings. The study is motivated by Gromov’s famous surface subgroup question: Does every oneended hyperbolic group contain a subgroup which is isomorphic to the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus at least 2? In [10] and [3] the authors constructed and classified all grou...
متن کامل1 Quasi - isometry rigidity for hyperbolic build - ings
Recall that the quasi-isometry group QI(X) of a metric space X is the set of equivalence classes of quasi-isometries f : X → X, where two quasiisometries f1, f2 are equivalent iff supx d(f1(x), f2(x)) <∞ (here we consider G as a metric space with a word metric). One approach to this question, which has been the most successful one, is to find an ‘optimal’ space X quasi-isometric to G and show t...
متن کاملA Construction of Lattices for Certain Hyperbolic Buildings
We construct a nonuniform lattice and an infinite family of uniform lattices in the automorphism group of a hyperbolic building with all links a fixed finite building of rank 2 associated to a Chevalley group. We use complexes of groups and basic facts about spherical buildings.
متن کاملOn Applications of a Generalized Hyperbolic Measure of Entropy
After generalization of Shannon‘s entropy measure by Renyi in 1961, many generalized versions of Shannon measure were proposed by different authors. Shannon measure can be obtained from these generalized measures asymptotically. A natural question arises in the parametric generalization of Shannon‘s entropy measure. What is the role of the parameter(s) from application point of view? In the pre...
