Fuglede-Kadison determinants and entropy for actions of discrete amenable groups

Christopher Deninger

备注：: 27 pages

英文摘要：

In 1990, Lind, Schmidt and Ward gave a formula for the entropy of certain $\mathbb{Z}^n$-dynamical systems attached to Laurent polynomials $P$, in terms of the (logarithmic) Mahler measure of $P$. We extend the expansive case of their result to the noncommutative setting where $\mathbb{Z}^n$ gets replaced by suitable discrete amenable groups. Generalizing the Mahler measure, Fuglede-Kadison determinants from the theory of group von Neumann algebras appear in the entropy formula.

Compact Group Automorphisms, Addition Formulas and Fuglede-Kadison Determinants

For a countable amenable group Γand an element f in the integral group ring ZΓbeing invertible in the group von Neumann algebra of Γ, we show that the entropy of the shift action of Γon the Pontryagin dual of the quotient of ZΓby its left ideal generated by f is the logarithm of the Fuglede-Kadison determinant of f. For the proof, we establish an \ell^p-version of Rufus Bowen's definition of topological entropy, addition formulas for group extensions of countable amenable group actions, and an approximation formula for the Fuglede-Kadison determinant of f in terms of the determinants of pertur…

Fuglede-Kadison Determinants and Sofic Entropy

We relate Fuglede-Kadison determinants to entropy of algebraic actions of sofic groups in essentially complete generality. This generalizes recent results of Hanfeng Li and Andreas Thom from the amenable case to the sofic case, as well as results of David Kerr, Hanfeng Li, and Lewis Bowen in the residually finite case. Moreover, the proof given is the first calculation of entropy of algebraic actions to avoid a nontrivial determinant approximation. We apply our results to a problem of Christopher Deninger, generalizing results of Hanfeng Li and David Kerr. Finally, we show that in many cases, …

p-adic entropy and a p-adic Fuglede-Kadison determinant

Using periodic points we study a notion of entropy with values in the p-adic numbers. This is done for actions of countable discrete residually finite groups $Γ$. For suitable $Γ= \mathbb{Z}^d$-actions we obtain p-adic analogues of multivariable Mahler measures. For certain actions of more general groups the p-adic entropy can be expressed in terms of a p-adic analogue of the Fuglede-Kadison determinant from the theory of von Neumann algebras. Many basic questions remain open.

Determinants on von Neumann algebras, Mahler measures and Ljapunov exponents

For an ergodic measure preserving action on a probability space, consider the corresponding crossed product von Neumann algebra. We calculate the Fuglede-Kadison determinant for a class of operators in this von Neumann algebra in terms of the Ljapunov exponents of an associated measurable cocycle. The proof is based on recent work of Dykema and Schultz. As an application one obtains formulas for the Fuglede-Kadison determinant of noncommutative polynomials in the von Neumann algebra of the discrete Heisenberg group. These had been previously obtained by Lind and Schmidt via entropy considerati…

Lyapunov Exponents of Free Operators

Lyapunov exponents of a dynamical system are a useful tool to gauge the stability and complexity of the system. This paper offers a definition of Lyapunov exponents for a sequence of free linear operators. The definition is based on the concept of the extended Fuglede-Kadison determinant. We establish the existence of Lyapunov exponents, derive formulas for their calculation, and show that Lyapunov exponents of free variables are additive with respect to operator product. We illustrate these results using an example of free operators whose singular values are distributed by the Marchenko-Pastu…

Entropy, Determinants, and L2-Torsion

We show that for any amenable group Γand any ZΓ-module M of type FL with vanishing Euler characteristic, the entropy of the natural Γ-action on the Pontryagin dual of M is equal to the L2-torsion of M. As a particular case, the entropy of the principal algebraic action associated with the module ZΓ/ZΓf is equal to the logarithm of the Fuglede-Kadison determinant of f whenever f is a non-zero-divisor in ZΓ. This confirms a conjecture of Deninger. As a key step in the proof we provide a general Szegő-type approximation theorem for the Fuglede-Kadison determinant on the group von Neumann algebra …

Expansive algebraic actions of discrete residually finite amenable groups and their entropy

We prove an entropy formula for certain expansive actions of a countable discrete residually finite group $Γ$ by automorphisms of compact abelian groups in terms of Fuglede-Kadison determinants. This extends an earlier result proved by the first author under somewhat more restrictive conditions. The main tools for this generalization are a representation of the $Γ$-action by means of a `fundamental homoclinic point', and the description of entropy in terms of the renormalized logarithmic growth-rate of the set of $Γ_n$-fixed points, where $(Γ_n, n\ge1)$ is a decreasing sequence of finite index…

Mahler's Work and Algebraic Dynamical Systems

After Furstenberg had provided a first glimpse of remarkable rigidity phenomena associated with the joint action of several commuting automorphisms (or endomorphisms) of a compact abelian group, further key examples motivated the development of an extensive theory of such actions. Two of Mahler's achievements, the recognition of the significance of Mahler measure of multivariate polynomials in relating the lengths and heights of products of polynomials in terms of the corresponding quantities for the constituent factors, and his work on additive relations in fields, have unexpectedly played im…
