Conditional sofic mean dimension

Abstract

We undertake a study of the conditional mean dimensions for a factor map between continuous actions of a sofic group on two compact metrizable spaces. When the group is infinitely amenable, all these concepts recover as the conditional mean dimensions introduced in [31]. A range of results established for actions of amenable groups is extended to the sofic framework.

Additionally, our exploration encompasses the study of the relative mean dimension introduced by Tsukamoto, shedding light on its inherent correlation with the conditional metric mean dimension within the sofic context. A lower bound on the conditional metric mean dimension, originally proposed by Shi-Tsukamoto, is extended to the sofic case.
