Abstract

Let $\mathsf{X}_1$, $\mathsf{X}_2$ be mixing connected algebraic dynamical systems with the descending chain condition. We show that every equivariant continuous map $\mathsf{X}_1\to\mathsf{X}_2$ is affine (that is, $\mathsf{X}_2$ is topologically rigid) if and only if the system $\mathsf{X}_2$ has finite topological entropy.
