Bowen entropy for actions of amenable groups (Q2630141)

Let \((X,G)\) be a compact metric \(G\)-action topological dynamical system. The following is the main result in this paper. Theorem. Suppose that \(G\) is a discrete countable amenable group. Then, for any tempered Følner sequence \((F_n)\) in \(G\) with the decreasing condition \[ \lim_{n\to \infty} |F_n|/\log(n)=\infty, \] we have \[ h_{\mathrm{top}}^B(X,(F_n))=h_{\mathrm{top}}(X,G). \] The obtained result extends and completes a related statement in [\textit{R. Bowen}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 184, 125--136 (1974; Zbl 0274.54030)]. Further aspects involving this result are discussed.
