Local Entropy Theory of a Random Dynamical System

In this paper we extend the notion of a continuous bundle random dynamical system to the setting where the action of $\R$ or $\N$ is replaced by the action of an infinite countable discrete amenable group. Given such a system, and a monotone sub-additive invariant family of random continuous functions, we introduce the concept of local fiber topological pressure and establish an associated variational principle, relating it to measure-theoretic entropy. We also discuss some variants of this variational principle. We introduce both topological and measure-theoretic entropy tuples for continuous bundle random dynamical systems, and apply our variational principles to obtain a relationship between these of entropy tuples. Finally, we give applications of these results to general topological dynamical systems, recovering and extending many recent results in local entropy theory.
