contents A countable group $G$ has the strong topological Rokhlin property (STRP) if it admits a continuous action on the Cantor space with a comeager conjugacy class. We show that having the STRP is a symbolic dynamical property. We prove that a countable group $G$ has the STRP if and only if certain sofic subshifts over $G$ are dense in the space of subshifts. A sufficient condition is that isolated shifts over $G$ are dense in the space of all subshifts. We provide numerous applications including the proof that a group that decomposes as a free product of finite or cyclic groups has the STRP. We show that finitely generated nilpotent groups do not have the STRP unless they are virtually cyclic; the same is true for many groups of the form $G_1\times G_2\times G_3$ where each factor is recursively presented. We show that a large class of non-finitely generated groups do not have the STRP, this includes any group with infinitely generated center and the Hall universal locally finite group. We find a very strong connection between the STRP and shadowing, a.k.a. pseudo-orbit tracing property. We show that shadowing is generic for actions of a finitely generated group $G$ if and only if $G$ has the STRP.

A countable group $G$ has the strong topological Rokhlin property (STRP) if it admits a continuous action on the Cantor space with a comeager conjugacy class. We show that having the STRP is a symbolic dynamical property. We prove that a countable group $G$ has the STRP if and only if certain sofic subshifts over $G$ are dense in the space of subshifts. A sufficient condition is that isolated shifts over $G$ are dense in the space of all subshifts. We provide numerous applications including the proof that a group that decomposes as a free product of finite or cyclic groups has the STRP. We show that finitely generated nilpotent groups do not have the STRP unless they are virtually cyclic; the same is true for many groups of the form $G_1\times G_2\times G_3$ where each factor is recursively presented. We show that a large class of non-finitely generated groups do not have the STRP, this includes any group with infinitely generated center and the Hall universal locally finite group. We find a very strong connection between the STRP and shadowing, a.k.a. pseudo-orbit tracing property. We show that shadowing is generic for actions of a finitely generated group $G$ if and only if $G$ has the STRP.
