\section{Topological Dynamical Systems}
\label{section:topological-dynamical-systems}
\begin{definition}[Topological Dynamical System]
\label{definition:topological-dynamical-system}
Let $G$ be a group and $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space, then a \textbf{$G$-flow/topological dynamical system} is a homomorphism $\alpha: G \to \text{Aut}(X)$. In which case, the system is denoted by $G \curvearrowright X$.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Invariant]
\label{definition:tds-invariant}
Let $G \curvearrowright X$ be a $G$-flow and $A \subset X$, then the following are equivalent:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $GA \subset A$.
\item $gA = A$ for all $g \in G$.
\end{enumerate}
If the above holds, then $A$ is an \textbf{invariant} subset of $G$.
\end{definition}
\begin{proof}
(1) $\Rightarrow$ (2): Let $g \in G$, then $gA \subset A$ and $g^{-1}A \subset A$ by (1). In which case, $A = gg^{-1}A \subset gA$, so $gA = A$.
\end{proof}
\begin{definition}[Subflow]
\label{definition:tds-sub}
Let $G \curvearrowright X$ be a $G$-flow and $A \subset X$ be closed\footnote{So $A$ is also compact Hausdorff. } and invariant, then $G \curvearrowright A$ under the restricted action is a \textbf{$G$-subflow}.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Orbit]
\label{definition:tds-orbit}
Let $G \curvearrowright X$ be a $G$-flow and $x \in X$, then $Gx$ is the \textbf{orbit} of $x$ under $G$, and $\ol{Gx}$ is the \textbf{orbit closure} of $x$ under $G$.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Transitive]
\label{definition:tds-transitive}
Let $G \curvearrowright X$ be a $G$-flow and $x \in X$, then $x$ is \textbf{topologically transitive} with respect to $G$ if $Gx$ is dense in $X$.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Periodic]
\label{definition:tds-periodic}
Let $G \curvearrowright X$ be a $G$-flow and $x \in X$, then $x$ is \textbf{periodic} with respect to $G$ if $Gx$ is finite.
\end{definition}
