Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to exhibit highly structured subdynamics for a class of non-expansive algebraic ℤd-actions based on the closed orbits of elements of an action. This is done using dynamical Dirichlet series to encode orbit counts. It is shown that there is a distinguished group homomorphism from ℤd onto a finite abelian group that controls the form of the Dirichlet series of elements of an action and that these series have common analytic properties. Corresponding orbit growth asymptotics are subsequently investigated.
