Abstract

Let (X,T)(X,T) be a topological dynamical system. Given a continuous vector-valued function FC(X,Rd)F \in C(X, \mathbb{R}^{d}) called a potential we define its rotation set R(F)R(F) as the set of integrals of FF with respect to all TT-invariant probability measures, which is a convex body of Rd\mathbb{R}^{d}. In this paper, we study the geometry of rotation sets. We prove that if TT is a non-uniquely ergodic topological dynamical system with a dense set of periodic measures, then the map R()R(\cdot) is open with respect to the uniform topologies. As a consequence, we obtain that the rotation set of a generic potential is strictly convex and has C1C^{1} boundary. Furthermore, we prove that the map R()R(\cdot) is surjective, extending a result of Kucherenko and Wolf.
