Abstract

Topological entropy is very well-understood for endomorphisms of compact Abelian groups. A fundamental result in this context is the so-called Yuzvinski Formula, which is the key step in finding the topological entropy of any compact group endomorphism. The goal of this paper is to prove a perfect analog of the Yuzvinski Formula for the algebraic entropy, namely, the Algebraic Yuzvinski Formula, giving the value of the algebraic entropy of an endomorphism of a finite-dimensional rational vector space as the Mahler measure of its characteristic polynomial.
