Periodic Points for Expansive Actions of Z on Compact Abelian Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
In this note we show that the periodic points of an expansive Zd action on a compact abelian group are uniformly distributed with respect to Haar measure if the action has completely positive entropy. In the general expansive case, we show that any measure obtained as the distribution of periodic points along some sequence of periods necessarily has maximal entropy but need not be Haar measure. §

Irreducibility, Homoclinic Points and Adjoint Actions of Algebraic Z–Actions of Rank One
In this paper we consider Z-actions, d ≥ 1, by automorphisms of compact connected abelian groups which contain at least one expansive automorphism (such actions are called algebraic Z-actions of expansive rank one). If α is such a Z-action on an infinite compact connected abelian group X, then every expansive element α of this action has a dense group ∆αn(X) of homoclinic points. For different ...

An irreducible algebraic Z d-action on a compact abelian group X is a Z d-action by automorphisms of X such that every closed,-invariant subgroup Y (X is nite. We prove the following result: if d 2, then every measurable conjugacy between irreducible and mixing algebraic Z d-actions on compact zero-dimensional abelian groups is aane. For irreducible, expansive and mixing algebraic Z d-actions o...
متن کاملExpansive Subdynamics for Algebraic Z -actions
A general framework for investigating topological actions of Zd on compact metric spaces was proposed by Boyle and Lind in terms of expansive behavior along lower-dimensional subspaces ofRd . Here we completely describe this expansive behavior for the class of algebraic Zd -actions given by commuting automorphisms of compact abelian groups. The description uses the logarithmic image of an algeb...
متن کاملOn the Cohomology of Algebraic Z-actions with Values in Compact Lie Groups
Let d ≥ 2, and let α be an expansive and mixing Z-action by automorphisms of a compact, abelian group X. We prove the following: if the entropy h(αn) is finite for every n ∈ Z, then there exist nontrivial Hölder 1-cocycles for α with values in certain compact Lie groups, even though α need not have any nontrivial Hölder cocycles with values in abelian groups. On the other hand, if α has complet...
متن کاملThe Bernoulli Property for Expansive Z Actions on Compact Groups
We show that an expansive Z2 action on a compact abelian group is measurably isomorphic to a two–dimensional Bernoulli shift if and only if it has completely positive entropy. The proof uses the algebraic structure of such actions described by Kitchens and Schmidt and an algebraic characterisation of the K property due to Lind, Schmidt and the author. As a corollary, we note that an expansive Z...
