This monograph arose from lectures delivered by the authors at the Winter School "Operator Spaces, Noncommutative probability and Quantum Groups", December 1-12, 2014, held at the Azuréva Métabief in the Jura Mountains in France.
"In the early 1980's topologists and geometers for the first time came across unfamiliar words like C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras through the discovery of new knot invariants (by V.F.R. Jones) or through a remarkable result on the relationship between characteristic class…
This book is an exposition on the interesting interplay between topological dynamics and the theory of C*-algebras. Researchers working in topological dynamics from various fields in mathematics are becoming more and more interested in this kind of algebraic approach of dynamics…
