Entropy for noninvariant measures
In the following text for a discrete finite nonempty set and a self-map we investigate interaction between different entropies of generalized shift , and cellularities of some Alexandroff topologies on .
In this note I present the main results about the quantitative and qualitative propagation of chaos for the Boltzmann-Kac system obtained in collaboration with C. Mouhot in [33] which gives a possible answer to some questions formulated by Kac in [25]. We also present some related recent results about Kac’s chaos and Kac’s program obtained in [34, 23, 13] by K. Carrapatoso, M. Hauray, C. Mouhot, B. Wennberg and myself.
An effective construction of positive-entropy almost one-to-one topological extensions of the Chacón flow is given. These extensions have the property of almost minimal power joinings. For each possible value of entropy there are uncountably many pairwise non-conjugate such extensions.
