Abstract

Suppose PNP\subseteq \mathbb{N} and let (ΣP,σP)(\Sigma_P,\,\sigma_P) be the space of a spacing shift. We show that if entropy hσP=0h_{\sigma_P}=0 then (ΣP,σP)(\Sigma_P,\,\sigma_P) is proximal. Also hσP=0h_{\sigma_P}=0 if and only if P=NEP=\mathbb N\setminus E where EE is an intersective set. Moreover, we show that hσP>0h_{\sigma_P}>0 implies that PP is a Δ\Delta^* set; and by giving a class of examples, we show that this is not a sufficient condition. Then there is enough results to solve question 5 given in [J. Banks et al., \textit{Dynamics of Spacing Shifts}, Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst., to appear.].
