Emergent order spectrum for transitive homeomorphisms
Abstract
The Emergent Order Spectrum is a topological invariant of dynamical systems providing order-types induced by the limit order of order-compatible nested -chains (with ) from to . In this paper, we investigate how rich these spectra can be under natural dynamical hypotheses. For a transitive homeomorphism of a compact metric space without isolated points and of cardinality , we show that the global spectrum is universal at the countable scattered level: every countable scattered order-type together with the order-type of the rationals appears in . More precisely, there exists a comeagre subset such that, for every , the individual spectrum already realizes all countably infinite scattered order-types; moreover, the order-type of the rationals belongs to for every pair .
