Abstract
Given a compact metric space and a continuous map, the induced hyperspace map acts on the hyperspace of closed and nonempty subsets of , and on the continuum hyperspace of connected sets. This work studies the mean dimension explosion phenomenon: when the base system has zero topological entropy, but the mean dimension of the induced map is infinite. In particular, this phenomenon occurs for Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms. Furthermore, for a circle homeomorphism , the mean dimension explosion does not occur if and only if is conjugate to a rotation. For the metric mean dimension, a different result is obtained: we establish sufficient conditions for the induced hyperspace map to have zero or infinite metric mean dimension.
