Topological complexity of semigroup actions

Abstract

In this paper, we study the complexity of semigroup actions using complexity functions of open covers. The main results are as follows: (1) A dynamical system is equicontinuous if and only if any open cover has bounded complexity; (2) Weak-mixing implies scattering; (3) We get a criterion for the scattering property.

Keywords: topological complexity function, scattering, weak mixing
