Furstenberg [Disjointness in ergodic theory, minimal sets, and a problem in Diophantine approximation. Math. Syst. Theory1 (1967), 1–49] calculated the Hausdorff and Minkowski dimensions of one-sided subshifts in terms of topological entropy. We generalize this to $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$ -subshifts. Our generalization involves mean dimension theory. We calculate the metric mean dimension and the mean Hausdorff dimension of $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$ -subshifts with respect to a subaction of $\mathbb{Z}$ . The resulting formula is quite analogous to Furstenberg’s theorem. We also calculate the rate distortion dimension of $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$ -subshifts in terms of Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy.

AbstractWe study the distribution on ℝ2 of the orbit of a vector under the linear action of SL(2,ℤ). Let Ω⊂ℝ2 be a compact set and x∈ℝ2. Let N(k,x) be the number of matrices γ∈SL(2,ℤ) such that γ(x)∈Ω and ‖γ‖≤k, k=1,2,…. If Ω is a square, we prove the existence of an absolute error term for N(k,x), as k→∞, for almost every x, which depends on the Diophantine property of the ratio of the coordinates of x. Our approach translates the question into a Diophantine approximation counting problem which provides the absolute error term. The asymptotical behaviour of N(k,x) is also obtained using ergodic theory.

AbstractLet σ be an ergodic endomorphism of the r–dimensional torus and Π a semigroup generated by two affine transformations lying above σ. We show that the flow defined by Π admits minimal sets of positive Hausdorff dimension and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for this flow to be minimal.
