Abstract

Given qNq\in\mathbb{N}, let (X,T)(X,T) be a Zq\mathbb{Z}^q-system, vRq{0}\vec{v}\in\mathbb{R}^q\setminus\{\vec{0}\} be a direction vector and bR+q1\textbf{b}\in\mathbb{R}_+^{q-1}. We study (X,T)(X,T) that has bounded complexity with respect to three kinds of metrics defined along direction v\vec{v}: the directional Bowen metric dkv,bd_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}, the directional max-mean metric d^kv,b\hat{d}_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}} and the directional mean metric dˉkv,b\bar{d}_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}. It is shown that (X,T)(X,T) has bounded topological complexity with respect to {dkv,b}k=1\{d_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}\}_{k=1}^{\infty} (resp. {d^kv,b}k=1\{\hat{d}_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}\}_{k=1}^{\infty}) if and only if TT is (v,b)(\vec{v},\textbf{b})-equicontinuous (resp. (v,b)(\vec{v},\textbf{b})-equicontinuous in the mean). Meanwhile, it turns out that an invariant Borel probability measure μ\mu on XX has bounded complexity with respect to {dkv,b}k=1\{d_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}\}_{k=1}^{\infty} if and only if TT is (μ,v,b)(\mu,\vec{v},\textbf{b})-equicontinuous. Moreover, it is shown that μ\mu has bounded complexity with respect to {dˉkv,b}k=1\{\bar{d}_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}\}_{k=1}^{\infty} if and only if μ\mu has bounded complexity with respect to {d^kv,b}k=1\{\hat{d}_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}\}_{k=1}^{\infty} if and only if TT is (μ,v,b)(\mu,\vec{v},\textbf{b})-mean equicontinuous if and only if TT is (μ,v,b)(\mu,\vec{v},\textbf{b})-equicontinuous in the mean if and only if μ\mu has v\vec{v}-discrete spectrum.
