Journal Article
Miles, R., & Ward, T. (2015). Directional uniformities, periodic points, and entropy. Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series B, 20(10), 3525-3545. https://doi.org/10.3934/dcdsb.2015.20.3525

Dynamical systems generated by d≥2 commuting homeomorphisms (topological Z d -actions) contain within them structures on many scales, and in particular contain many actions of Z k for 1≤k≤d . Familiar dynamical invariants for homeomorphisms, like ent... Read More about Directional uniformities, periodic points, and entropy.

These notes give a summary of the course ‘Ergodic theory and Applications in Number Theory’ at the Summer School in Modern Mathematics at the Tsinghua University in Beijing, June 23–27 (2013). As in the Summer school, we will need to be brief at time... Read More about Homogeneous dynamics: a study guide.

We discuss some of the issues that arise in attempts to classify automorphisms of compact abelian groups from a dynamical point of view. In the particular case of automorphisms of one-dimensional solenoids, a complete description is given and the pro... Read More about Dynamical invariants for group automorphisms.
