Ergodic Theory: Independence and Dichotomies

Provides an introduction to the ergodic theory and topological dynamics of actions of general countable groups Covers several topics of current research interest, including Popa’s cocycle superrigidity, sofic entropy, and algebraic actions Contains a consolidated account of amenability and its ramifications for dynamics, including a systematic exposition of the entropy theory for actions of amenable groups Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
