Abstract

We study the hyperbolic entropies of foliations obtained by suspensions of a representation, in the sense of Dinh, Nguy\^en and Sibony (topological and measure-theoretic). We establish a link between this type of entropy and an adapted version of an entropy defined by Ghys, Langevin and Walczak for pseudo-groups of homeomorphisms. Such a link has various consequences. Among them, it implies that the hyperbolic entropy of foliations is not invariant by diffeomorphisms, and that a minimal entropy suspension admits an invariant measure. Finally, this allows us to study thoroughly the simple case in which the image of the representation is isomorphic to~Z\mathbb{Z}. In that case, we give the first exact estimate of the hyperbolic entropy, and prove a Brin--Katok type theorem and a variational principle, relying strongly on the standard ones for the entropy of maps.
