Predictability, topological entropy, and invariant random orders

Abstract

We prove that a topologically predictable action of a countable amenable group has zero topological entropy, as conjectured by Hochman. We investigate invariant random orders and formulate a unified Kieffer-Pinsker formula for the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of measure preserving actions of amenable groups. We also present a proof due to Weiss for the fact that topologically prime actions of sofic groups have non-positive topological sofic entropy.
