Audit review
Part A of the candidate solution matches Theorem 3.9 in the paper and is essentially correct (constructs h on the Ψ-orbit via a uniquely shadowing y, uses expansivity for well-definedness, and proves continuity; compare the paper’s proof and Lemma 3.8-based continuity argument) . Part B, however, contains a key inequality error: it tries to deduce d(Φ_g(x), Ψ_g(y_p)) ≤ ε from topological stability at p and equicontinuity, but replaces the needed bound on d(Φ_g(p), Ψ_g(y_p)) with a bound on d(Φ_g(y_p), Ψ_g(p)), which is not interchangeable. The paper’s Theorem 4.14 avoids this pitfall by showing each equicontinuous topologically stable point x is already β-persistent with y = x, and then promotes pointwise β-persistence to global β-persistence via measure-theoretic lemmas .
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions
\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid
\textbf{Justification:}
The paper carefully extends pointwise notions of shadowing, topological stability, and persistence to finitely generated group actions and establishes clear relationships among them. The key theorems are rigorously proved and provide useful tools (notably the measure-theoretic route to promote pointwise β-persistence to global β-persistence). Minor typographical and phrasing issues do not affect correctness but could be polished to improve readability.
