Pinsker $$\sigma $$ -Algebra Character and Mean Li–Yorke Chaos

Abstract

Let G be an infinite countable discrete amenable group. For any G-action on a compact metric space X, it is proved that for any sequence \((G_n)_{n\ge 1}\) consisting of non-empty finite subsets of G with \(\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty }|G_n|=\infty \), Pinsker \(\sigma \)-algebra is a characteristic factor for \((G_n)_{n\ge 1}\). As a consequence, for a class of G-topological dynamical systems, positive topological entropy implies mean Li–Yorke chaos along a class of sequences consisting of non-empty finite subsets of G.
