Chain recurrence in \(\beta \)-compactifications of topological groups (Q355390): Difference between revisions

Summary: Let \(G\) be a topological group. In this paper, the limit behavior in the Stone-Čech compactification \(\beta G\) is studied. It depends on a family of translates of a reversible subsemigroup \(S\). The notion of semitotal subsemigroup is introduced. It is shown that the semitotality property is equivalent to the existence of only two maximal chain transitive sets in \(\beta G\) whenever \(S\) is centric. This result links an algebraic property to a dynamical property. The concept of a chain recurrent function is also introduced and characterized via the compactification \(\beta G\). Some applications of chain recurrent function to linear differential systems and transformation groups are given.
