A hierarchy of topological systems with completely positive entropy

We define a hierarchy of systems with topological completely positive entropy in the context of countable amenable continuous group actions on compact metric spaces. For each countable ordinal we construct a dynamical system on the corresponding level of the aforementioned hierarchy and provide subshifts of finite type for the first three levels. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for entropy pairs by means of the asymptotic relation on systems with the pseudo-orbit tracing property, and thus create a bridge between a result by Pavlov and a result by Meyerovitch. As a corollary, we answer negatively an open question by Pavlov regarding necessary conditions for completely positive entropy.
