Dynamics of meromorphic maps with small topological degree III: geometric currents and ergodic theory

Jeffrey Diller, Romain Dujardin, Vincent Guedj (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We continue our study of the dynamics of mappings with small topological degree on projective complex surfaces. Previously, under mild hypotheses, we have constructed an ergodic “equilibrium” measure for each such mapping. Here we study the dynamical properties of this measure in detail: we give optimal bounds for its Lyapunov exponents, prove that it has maximal entropy, and show that it has product structure in the natural extension. Under a natural further assumption, we show that saddle points...

Entropy of distal groups, pseudogroups, foliations and laminations

Andrzej Biś, Paweł Walczak (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

A distality property for pseudogroups and foliations is defined. Distal foliated bundles satisfying some growth conditions are shown to have zero geometric entropy in the sense of É. Ghys, R. Langevin and P. Walczak [Acta Math. 160 (1988)].

Entropy of scalar reaction-diffusion equations

Siniša Slijepčević (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

We consider scalar reaction-diffusion equations on bounded and extended domains, both with the autonomous and time-periodic nonlinear term. We discuss the meaning and implications of the ergodic Poincaré-Bendixson theorem to dynamics. In particular, we show that in the extended autonomous case, the space-time topological entropy is zero. Furthermore, we characterize in the extended nonautonomous case the space-time topological and metric entropies as entropies of a pair of commuting planar homeomorphisms....

Entropy on effect algebras with the Riesz decomposition property I: Basic properties

Antonio Di Nola, Anatolij Dvurečenskij, Marek Hyčko, Corrado Manara (2005)

Kybernetika

We define the entropy, lower and upper entropy, and the conditional entropy of a dynamical system consisting of an effect algebra with the Riesz decomposition property, a state, and a transformation. Such effect algebras allow many refinements of two partitions. We present the basic properties of these entropies and these notions are illustrated by many examples. Entropy on MV-algebras is postponed to Part II.

Entropy pairs of ℤ² and their directional properties

Kyewon Koh Park, Uijung Lee (2004)

Studia Mathematica

Topological and metric entropy pairs of ℤ²-actions are defined and their properties are investigated, analogously to ℤ-actions. In particular, mixing properties are studied in connection with entropy pairs.

Extreme Relations for Topological Flows

Brunon Kamiński, Artur Siemaszko, Jerzy Szymański (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We introduce the concept of an extreme relation for a topological flow as an analogue of the extreme measurable partition for a measure-preserving transformation considered by Rokhlin and Sinai, and we show that every topological flow has such a relation for any invariant measure. From this result, it follows, among other things, that any deterministic flow has zero topological entropy and any flow which is a K-system with respect to an invariant measure with full support is a topological K-flow....

Fiber entropy and conditional variational principles in compact non-metrizable spaces

Tomasz Downarowicz, Jacek Serafin (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider a pair of topological dynamical systems on compact Hausdorff (not necessarily metrizable) spaces, one being a factor of the other. Measure-theoretic and topological notions of fiber entropy and conditional entropy are defined and studied. Abramov and Rokhlin's definition of fiber entropy is extended, using disintegration. We prove three variational principles of conditional nature, partly generalizing some results known before in metric spaces: (1) the topological conditional entropy...

General multifractal analysis of local entropies

Floris Takens, Evgeny Verbitski (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We address the problem of the multifractal analysis of local entropies for arbitrary invariant measures. We obtain an upper estimate on the multifractal spectrum of local entropies, which is similar to the estimate for local dimensions. We show that in the case of Gibbs measures the above estimate becomes an exact equality. In this case the multifractal spectrum of local entropies is a smooth concave function. We discuss possible singularities in the multifractal spectrum and their relation to phase...

Geometry of currents, intersection theory and dynamics of horizontal-like maps

Tien-Cuong Dinh, Nessim Sibony (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We introduce a geometry on the cone of positive closed currents of bidegree ( p , p ) and apply it to define the intersection of such currents. We also construct and study the Green currents and the equilibrium measure for horizontal-like mappings. The Green currents satisfy some extremality properties. The equilibrium measure is invariant, mixing and has maximal entropy. It is equal to the intersection of the Green currents associated to the horizontal-like map and to its inverse.

Homotopy and dynamics for homeomorphisms of solenoids and Knaster continua

Jarosław Kwapisz (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We describe the homotopy classes of self-homeomorphisms of solenoids and Knaster continua. In particular, we demonstrate that homeomorphisms within one homotopy class have the same (explicitly given) topological entropy and that they are actually semi-conjugate to an algebraic homeomorphism in the case when the entropy is positive.

Invariant scrambled sets and maximal distributional chaos

Xinxing Wu, Peiyong Zhu (2013)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

For the full shift (Σ₂,σ) on two symbols, we construct an invariant distributionally ϵ-scrambled set for all 0 < ϵ < diam Σ₂ in which each point is transitive, but not weakly almost periodic.

Jumps of entropy for C r interval maps

David Burguet (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study the jumps of topological entropy for C r interval or circle maps. We prove in particular that the topological entropy is continuous at any f ∈ C r ( [ 0 , 1 ] ) with h t o p ( f ) > ( l o g ⁺ | | f ' | | ∞ ) / r . To this end we study the continuity of the entropy of the Buzzi-Hofbauer diagrams associated to C r interval maps.
