Intrinsic Ergodicity via Obstruction Entropies
نویسنده
چکیده
Bowen showed that a continuous expansive map with specification has a unique measure of maximal entropy. We show that the conclusion remains true under weaker non-uniform versions of these hypotheses. To this end, we introduce the notions of obstructions to expansivity and specification, and show that if the entropy of such obstructions is smaller than the topological entropy of the map, then there is a unique measure of maximal entropy.

Intrinsic Ergodicity of Fibered Perturbations of Products of Chaotic Smooth Interval Maps
We consider small bered perturbations of direct products of chaotic smooth interval maps. We prove that these multi-dimensional systems have a non-zero and nite number of invariant and ergodic probability measures with maximal entropy. We note that these dynamical systems are neither linear nor expansive. The proof uses a suitable generalization of Hofbauer's Markov diagram developped in 6] whi...
متن کاملRelative entropy via non-sequential recursive pair substitutions
The entropy of an ergodic source is the limit of properly rescaled 1block entropies of sources obtained applying successive non-sequential recursive pairs substitutions [7],[2]. In this paper we prove that the cross entropy and the KullbackLeibler divergence can be obtained in a similar way. AMS classification scheme numbers: 94A17

The entropy of an ergodic finite-alphabet process can be computed from a single typical sample path x1 using the entropy of the k-block empirical probability and letting k grow with n roughly like logn. We further assume that the distribution of the process is a g-measure. We prove large deviation principles for conditional, non-conditional and relative k(n)-block empirical entropies.
متن کاملMeasures of Intermediate Entropies for Skew Product Diffeomorphisms
In this paper we study a skew product map F with a measure μ of positive entropy. We show that if on the fibers the map are C diffeomorphisms with nonzero Lyapunov exponents, then F has ergodic measures of intermediate entropies. To construct these measures we find a set on which the return map is a skew product with horseshoes along fibers. We can control the average return time and show the m...
متن کاملStationary Determinantal Processes: Phase Multiplicity, Bernoullicity, Entropy, and Domination
We study a class of stationary processes indexed by Z that are defined via minors of d-dimensional (multilevel) Toeplitz matrices. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for phase multiplicity (the existence of a phase transition) analogous to that which occurs in statistical mechanics. Phase uniqueness is equivalent to the presence of a strong K property, a particular strengthening of t...
