C*-dynamics and entropy
[PDF]

A basic problem in dynamics is to determine whether or not a given system has positive entropy, i.e., whether or not it is ``chaotic.'' While there is a vast collection of results addressing this issue in topological dynamics, the phenomenon of positive entropy remains by and large a mystery within the broader noncommutative domain of C*-algebraic dynamics. To shed some light on the noncommutative situation we propose a geometric perspective inspired by work of Glasner and Weiss on topological entropy.
