Dimension Groups of Topological Joinings and Non-coalescence of Cantor Minimal Systems

چکیده
By a topological dynamical system (Y, ψ), we mean a compact Hausdorff space Y endowed with a homeomorphism ψ. When (Yi, ψi), i = 0, 1 are two topological dynamical systems, ψ0 × ψ1-invariant closed subsets of Y0 × Y1 are called (topological) joinings, and when (Y0, ψ0) equals (Y1, ψ1), they are called self-joinings. In the measure-theoretical setting, the notion of selfjoinings was introduced by D. Rudolph in [R], and it was proved that the minimal self-joining property implies coalescence and zero entropy. In this paper, we will compute the dimension group of joinings of Cantor minimal systems. When Y is the Cantor set and a homeomorphism ψ on Y has no nontrivial invariant closed set, (Y, ψ) is called a Cantor minimal system. We define the dimension group K0(Y, ψ) of (Y, ψ) as the quotient of C(Y,Z) by the coboundary subgroup Bψ = {f − f ◦ ψ−1; f ∈ C(Y,Z)}. In [GPS], it was proved that the dimension group K0(Y, ψ), as an ordered group with a distinguished order unit, characterizes the strong orbit equivalence class of (Y, ψ). We would like to consider the case that a joining (Z, τ) of Cantor minimal systems (Y0, ψ0) and (Y1, ψ1) is also a Cantor minimal system. (We must distinguish the property of minimal self-joinings and minimal systems in the joinings.) We don’t know a necessary and sufficient condition so that the joining is minimal. In a special case, however, we will prove that the joining becomes a Cantor minimal system, and compute its dimension group. Our

The Universal Minimal Space for Groups of Homeomorphisms of H-homogeneous Spaces
Let X be a h-homogeneous zero-dimensional compact Hausdorff space, i.e. X is a Stone dual of a homogeneous Boolean algebra. It is shown that the universal minimal space M(G) of the topological group G = Homeo(X), is the space of maximal chains on X introduced in [Usp00]. If X is metrizable then clearly X is homeomorphic to the Cantor set and the result was already known (see [GW03]). However ma...
متن کاملExtensions of Cantor Minimal Systems and Dimension Groups
Given a factor map p : (X, T )→ (Y, S) of Cantor minimal systems, we study the relations between the dimension groups of the two systems. First, we interpret the torsion subgroup of the quotient of the dimension groups K0(X)/K0(Y ) in terms of intermediate extensions which are extensions of (Y, S) by a compact abelian group. Then we show that, by contrast, the existence of an intermediate non-a...
متن کاملThe Universal Minimal System for the Group of Homeomorphisms of the Cantor Set
Each topological group G admits a unique universal minimal dynamical system (M(G), G). For a locally compact non-compact group this is a nonmetrizable system with a rich structure, on which G acts effectively. However there are topological groups for which M(G) is the trivial one point system (extremely amenable groups), as well as topological groups G for which M(G) is a metrizable space and f...
