A note on dimensional entropy for amenable group actions

Abstract

In this short note, for countably infinite amenable group actions, we provide topological proofs for the following results: Bowen topological entropy (dimensional entropy) of the whole space equals the usual topological entropy along tempered F{\o}lner sequences; the Hausdorff dimension of an amenable subshift (for certain metric associated to some F{\o}lner sequence) equals its topological entropy. This answers questions by Zheng and Chen \cite{ZC} and Simpson \cite{S}
