The Bridge Theorem for totally disconnected LCA groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For a totally disconnected locally compact abelian group, we prove that the topological entropy of a continuous endomorphism coincides with the algebraic entropy of the dual endomorphism with respect to the Pontryagin duality. Moreover, this result is extended to all locally compact abelian groups under the assumption of additivity with respect to some fully invariant subgroups for both the topological and the algebraic entropy.


The authors use the notion of topological entropy for uniformly continuous self-maps of uniform spaces introduced by [\textit{B. M. Hood}, J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 8, 633--641 (1974; Zbl 0291.54051)] applied to continuous endomorphisms of locally compact abelian groups. On the other hand they consider the notion of algebraic entropy given by [\textit{S. Virili}, Topology Appl. 159, No. 9, 2546--2556 (2012; Zbl 1243.22007)]. In this terms a subcategory \(\Xi\) of the category of all locally compact abelian groups satisfies the Bridge Theorem if \(h_{\mathrm{top}}(\phi)=h_{\mathrm{alg}}(\hat{\phi})\) for every endomorphism \(\phi:G\rightarrow G\) in \(\Xi\), where \(\hat{\phi}:\hat{G}\rightarrow \hat{G}\) denotes the dual and \(\hat{G}\) denotes the Pontryagin dual group of \(G\). In this paper, the Bridge Theorem is proved for totally disconnected locally compact abelian groups and the result is extended to locally compact abelian groups under additional assumptions.
