Naive entropy of dynamical systems (Q2627990)

The author studies a version of entropy, called ``naive entropy'', introduced by \textit{L. Bowen} [``Examples in the entropy theory of countable group actions'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1704.06349}]. This notion is extended for both measurable and topological actions of any countable group. The main example under study is given by nonamenable groups, for which the invariant is two-valued. Bowen conjectured that if the acting group is sofic, zero naive entropy implies sofic entropy at most zero. The topological version of this conjecture is proven in the present paper by showing that for every action of a sofic group by homeomorphisms of a compact metric space, zero naive entropy implies sofic entropy at most zero.
