Abstract
We present the achievements of Lewis Bowen, or, more precisely, his breakthrough works after which a theory started to develop. The focus will therefore be made here on the isomorphism problem for Bernoulli actions of countable non-amenable groups which he solved brilliantly in two remarkable papers. Here two invariants were introduced, which led to many developments.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Modern Dynamics (JMD) is dedicated to publishing research articles in active and promising areas in the theory of dynamical systems with particular emphasis on the mutual interaction between dynamics and other major areas of mathematical research, including:
Number theory
Symplectic geometry
Differential geometry
Rigidity
Quantum chaos
Teichmüller theory
Geometric group theory
Harmonic analysis on manifolds.
The journal is published by the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) with the support of the Anatole Katok Center for Dynamical Systems and Geometry at the Pennsylvania State University.
