review text: The classical theory of entropy of measure-preserving transformations of a group \(G\), or of continuous actions of a group \(G\) extended naturally from the original setting \(G=\mathbb{Z}\) to the case of \(G\) being a countable amenable group. In these developments fundamental inequalities survived, expressing the idea that the entropy of a system is at least as big as the entropy of any of its factor systems: roughly speaking, `bigger' systems cannot have less entropy than `smaller' ones. A particularly convenient class of examples which have a very straightforward relationship between (Haar) measure theoretic and topological entropy, are the actions by continuous automorphisms of a compact group. Here tools like the Yuzvinskii addition formula, showing that entropy adds over \(G\)-equivariant exact sequences of compact groups and continuous homomorphisms with closed image, give a more precise articulation of that monotonicity property of entropy. \textit{D. S. Ornstein} and \textit{B. Weiss} [J. Anal. Math. 48, 1--141 (1987; Zbl 0637.28015)], alongside their development of the Ornstein theory for actions of countable amenable groups, pointed out that the full shift with alphabet given by the group \(C_2\) with two elements over the free group \(G=F_2\), a natural example of an action of \(F_2\) by automorphisms of a compact group, factors onto the full shift with alphabet \(C_2\times C_2\). Whatever one might mean by entropy in this situation, the former system has entropy \(\log2\) while the latter factor system has entropy \(\log4\). This clear indication that entropy theory for actions of non-amenable groups could not satisfy monotonicity results about factors, nor addition formulas like the Yuzvinskii addition formula gave rise to the view that there would be no good entropy theory beyond the amenable context. New ideas were brought into the picture by \textit{L. Bowen} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 23, No. 1, 217--245 (2010; Zbl 1201.37005)], later refined by \textit…
