A group $Gamma$ is said to be finitely non-co-Hopfian, or renormalizable, if there exists a self-embedding $varphi colon Gamma to Gamma$ whose image is a proper subgroup of finite index. Such a proper self-embedding is called a renormalization for $Gamma$. In this work, we associate a dynamical system to a renormalization $varphi$ of $Gamma$. The discriminant invariant ${mathcal D}_{varphi}$ of the associated Cantor dynamical system is a profinite group which is a measure of the asymmetries of the dynamical system. If ${mathcal D}_{varphi}$ is a finite group for some renormalization, we show that $Gamma/C_{varphi}$ is virtually nilpotent, where $C_{varphi}$ is the kernel of the action map. We introduce the notion of a (virtually) renormalizable Cantor action, and show that the action associated to a renormalizable group is virtually renormalizable. We study the properties of virtually renormalizable Cantor actions, and show that virtual renormalizability is an invariant of continuous orbit equivalence. Moreover, the discriminant invariant of a renormalizable Cantor action is an invariant of continuous orbit equivalence. Finally, the notion of a renormalizable Cantor action is related to the notion of a self-replicating group of automorphisms of a rooted tree.
In this paper, we study the actions of profinite groups on Cantor sets which arise from representations of Galois groups of certain fields of rational functions. Such representations are associated to polynomials, and they are called profinite iterat
In this work, we investigate the dynamical and geometric properties of weak solenoids, as part of the development of a calculus of group chains associated to Cantor minimal actions. The study of the properties of group chains was initiated in the wor
A group $G$ is said to be periodic if for any $gin G$ there exists a positive integer $n$ with $g^n=id$. We prove that a finitely generated periodic group of homeomorphisms on the 2-torus that preserves a measure $mu$ is finite. Moreover if the group
Let $BS(1,n) =< a, b | aba^{-1} = b^n >$ be the solvable Baumslag-Solitar group, where $ ngeq 2$. It is known that BS(1,n) is isomorphic to the group generated by the two affine maps of the real line: $f_0(x) = x + 1$ and $h_0(x) = nx $. This pap
A group $Gamma$ is said to be periodic if for any $g$ in $Gamma$ there is a positive integer $n$ with $g^n=id$. We first prove that a finitely generated periodic group acting on the 2-sphere $SS^2$ by $C^1$-diffeomorphisms with a finite orbit, is f
