Invariant sets with zero measure and full Hausdorff dimension.
For invertible transformations we introduce various notions of topological entropy. For compact invariant sets these notions are all the same and equal the usual topological entropy. We show that for non-invariant sets these notions are different. They can be used to detect the direction in time in which the system evolves to highest complexity.
We call a sequence of measure preserving transformations strongly mixing if tends to for arbitrary measurable , . We investigate whether one can pass to a suitable subsequence such that almost surely for all (or “many”) integrable .
We consider expansions of real numbers in non-integer bases. These expansions are generated by β-shifts. We prove that some sets arising in metric number theory have the countable intersection property. This allows us to consider sets of reals that have common properties in a countable number of different (non-integer) bases. Some of the results are new even for integer bases.
