An ergodic dynamical system $\mathbf {X}$ is called dominant if it is isomorphic to a generic extension of itself. It was shown by Glasner et al [On some generic classes of ergodic measure preserving transformations. Trans. Moscow Math. Soc. 82(1) (2021), 15–36] that Bernoulli systems with finite entropy are dominant. In this work, we show first that every ergodic system with positive entropy is dominant, and then that if $\mathbf {X}$ has zero entropy, then it is not dominant.

Sofic entropy is an invariant for probability-preserving actions of sofic groups. It was introduced a few years ago by Lewis Bowen, and shown to extend the classical Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy from the setting of amenable groups. Some parts of Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy theory generalize to sofic entropy, but in other respects this new invariant behaves less regularly. This paper explores conditions under which sofic entropy is additive for Cartesian products of systems. It is always subadditive, but the reverse inequality can fail. We define a new entropy notion in terms of probability distributions on the spaces of good models of an action. Using this, we prove a general lower bound for the sofic entropy of a Cartesian product in terms of separate quantities for the two factor systems involved. We also prove that this lower bound is optimal in a certain sense, and use it to derive some sufficient conditions for the strict additivity of sofic entropy itself. Various other properties of this new entropy notion are also developed.

In my recent paper [1] there is a mistake in the proof of Corollary 3. The first line of the displayed equation in that proof asserts that
\[\int_G|\langle u,\pi^g v\rangle_V|^2\,\rm{d} g = \int_G\langle u\otimes u,(\pi^g\otimes \pi^g)(v\otimes v)\rangle_{V\otimes V}\, \rm{d} g.\]However, since the paper uses complex-valued representations, the integrand on the right here may not retain the absolute value of that on the left. Without this equality, the proof of Corollary 3 can no longer be reduced to an application of Lemma 2. However, it can be proved directly from Schur Orthogonality along very similar lines to the proof of Lemma 2.

Bergelson and Tao have recently proved that if G is a D-quasi-random group, and x, g are drawn uniformly and independently from G, then the quadruple (g, x, gx, xg) is roughly equidistributed in the subset of G4 defined by the constraint that the last two coordinates lie in the same conjugacy class. Their proof gives only a qualitative version of this result. The present note gives a rather more elementary proof which improves this to an explicit polynomial bound in D−1.

Equidistribution of joinings under off-diagonal polynomial flows of nilpotent Lie groups

Let $G$ be a connected nilpotent Lie group. Given probability-preserving$G$-actions $(X_i,\Sigma _i,\mu _i,u_i)$, $i=0,1,\ldots ,k$, and also polynomial maps $\phi _i:\mathbb {R}\to G$, $i=1,\ldots ,k$, we consider the trajectory of a joining $\lambda $ of the systems $(X_i,\Sigma _i,\mu _i,u_i)$ under the ‘off-diagonal’ flow
\[ (t,(x_0,x_1,x_2,\ldots ,x_k))\mapsto (x_0,u_1^{\phi _1(t)}x_1,u_2^{\phi _2(t)}x_2,\ldots ,u_k^{\phi _k(t)}x_k). \]It is proved that any joining $\lambda $ is equidistributed under this flow with respect to some limit joining $\lambda '$. This is deduced from the stronger fact of norm convergence for a system of multiple ergodic averages, related to those arising in Furstenberg’s approach to the study of multiple recurrence. It is also shown that the limit joining $\lambda '$ is invariant under the subgroup of $G^{k+1}$generated by the image of the off-diagonal flow, in addition to the diagonal subgroup.

For a jointly measurable probability-preserving action τ:ℝD↷(X,μ) and a tuple of polynomial maps pi:ℝ→ℝD, i=1,2,…,k, the multiple ergodic averages converge in L2(μ) as T→∞ for any f1,f2,…,fk∈L∞(μ). This confirms the continuous-time analog of the conjectured norm convergence of discrete polynomial multiple ergodic averages, which in its original formulation remains open in most cases. A proof of convergence can be given based on the idea of passing up to a sated extension of (X,μ,τ) in order to find a simple partially characteristic factor, similarly to the recent development of this idea for the study of related discrete-time averages, together with a new inductive scheme on tuples of polynomials. The new induction scheme becomes available upon changing the time variable in the above integral by some fractional power, and provides an alternative to Bergelson’s polynomial ergodic theorem induction, which has been the mainstay of positive results in this area in the past.

We offer a proof of the following non-conventional ergodic theorem: If Ti:ℤr↷(X,Σ,μ) for i=1,2,…,d are commuting probability-preserving ℤr-actions, (IN)N≥1 is a Følner sequence of subsets of ℤr, (aN)N≥1 is a base-point sequence in ℤr and f1,f2,…,fd∈L∞(μ) then the non-conventional ergodic averages converge to some limit in L2(μ) that does not depend on the choice of (aN)N≥1 or (IN)N≥1. The leading case of this result, with r=1 and the standard sequence of averaging sets, was first proved by Tao, following earlier analyses of various more special cases and related results by Conze and Lesigne, Furstenberg and Weiss, Zhang, Host and Kra, Frantzikinakis and Kra and Ziegler. While Tao’s proof rests on a conversion to a finitary problem, we invoke only techniques from classical ergodic theory, so giving a new proof of his result.

The effect of artisanal fishing on the abundance and diversity of coral reef fish assemblages was investigated in the Kisite Marine National Park and Mpunguti Marine National Reserve at Shimoni, Kenya. Fishing is prohibited within the Park whereas in the Reserve artisanal fishing using traditional methods is practised. Visual censuses of six representative reef fish families (Chaetodontidae, Lethrinidae, Lutjanidae and Serranidae in 1992 and 1994, and Labridae and Pomacentridae in 1994 only) were undertaken along 250×10 m band transects on two similar pairs of reefs subject to differing fishing pressure. The abundance of commercial species (Lethrinidae, Lutjanidae and Serranidae) was depressed in the Reserve. The unfished butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae) and damselfishes (Pomacentridae) also showed a greater abundance in the Park than in the Reserve. However, neither species number nor Shannon diversity (H′) of any of these families was affected by fishing pressure. Possible reasons for these findings are discussed. The abundance of commercial species, though not of non-commercial unfished species, increased significantly in the Reserve between 1992 and 1994, suggesting that the unfished Park may be acting as a source of larvae or supply of emigrating adults for the depleted Reserve. The results are comparable with other recent studies describing the effects of fishing pressure and also with those studies detailing the effects of habitat refugia in coral reef areas.

For r ∈ [0, 1] let μr be the Bernoulli measure on the Cantor set given as the infinite power of the measure on {0, 1} with weights r and 1 − r. For r, s ∈ [0, 1] it is known that the measure μr is continuously reducible to μs (that is, there is a continuous map sending μr to μs) if and only if s can be written as a certain kind of polynomial in r; in this case s is said to be binomially reducible to r. In this paper we answer in the negative the following question posed by Mauldin:
Is it true that the product measures μrand μsare homeomorphic if and only if each is a continuous image of the other, or, equivalently, each of the numbersrandsis binomially reducible to the other?

The following conjecture generalizing the Contraction Mapping Theorem was made by Stein.
Let (X, ρ) be a complete metric space and let ℱ = {T1,…, Tn} be a finite family of self-maps of X. Suppose that there is a constant γ ∈ (0, 1) such that, for any x, y ∈ X, there exists T ∈ ℱ with ρ(T(x), T(y)) ≤ γρ(x, y). Then some composition of members of ℱ has a fixed point.
In this paper this conjecture is disproved, We also show that it does hold for a (continuous) commuting ℱ in the case n = 2. It is conjectured that it holds for commuting ℱ for any n.

Since the beginning of the Reconciliation and Social Justice Project in 1996, AustLII has sought to contribute to the process of reconciliation through the provision of relevant legal and cultural information relating to indigenous people. Two important components of the project have been collecting material as well as making it as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. Another significant part of the Reconciliation and Social Justice Project has been connecting remote Aboriginal communities to the Internet and providing training to them in its use. The history and achievements of the project are set out here and some consideration is given to future directions for the various aspects of the project.
