Abstract

In this paper, we define and study strong Kato chaos for a group action on a compact metric space. Let X be a compact metric space without isolated points, and let G be a topologically commutative group on X. If the dynamical system (XG) is weakly mixing, then it is chaotic in the strong sense of Kato.
