Can every dynamical system be interpreted in terms of (unitary) conjugation in an operator algebra

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space and $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space with a homeomorphism $\alpha: X \to X$. Assume that $C(X)$ is a commutative sub algebra of $B(H)$, namely $C(X)$ is embedded in $B(H)$...

Reversal of open cover with topologically transitive dynamical system

Let $X$ be a separable metric space, $\phi\in C(X,X)$ be a topologically transitive dynamical system, and $V$ be a non-empty open subset of $X$, and $\nu$ be a locally-positive and atomless Borel ...

The critical exponent function

It is a known fact [1] that, for every $c\in (1,\infty]$, it is possible to find a finite alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ and a word $w\in \mathcal{A}^\omega$ such that $w$ has critical exponent $c$. It looks ...
