A discrete group $\Gamma$ has zipper action if there is a set $X$ and an action of $\Gamma$ on $X$ (say left-action) and a subset $Z\subseteq X$ such that
for every $g \in \Gamma$: $|gZ\Delta Z|< ...

Group stability considers the question of whether "almost"-homomorphisms are "close to" true homomorphisms. Here, "almost" and "close to" are made rigorous using a group metric.
More precisely, ...

How to prove that pseudo entropy and topological entropy are the same with only Markov inequality and continuity?
Let $(X,\rho)$ be a compact metric space and $f:X\to X$ a homeomorphism. We say $(x_1,\ldots,x_{n})\in X^n$ is a partial $n$ orbit if $f(x_i)=x_{i+1}$. Let $Sep_{\epsilon}(X,\rho_n)$ be the maximal ...
