Abstract

In this paper, the notion of measure complexity is introduced for a topological dynamical system and it is shown that Sarnak's M\"{o}bius disjointness conjecture holds for any system for which every invariant Borel probability measure has sub-polynomial measure complexity. Moreover, it is proved that the following classes of topological dynamical systems (X,T)(X,T) meet this condition and hence satisfy Sarnak's conjecture: (1) Each invariant Borel probability measure of TT has discrete spectrum. (2) TT is a homotopically trivial CC^\infty skew product system on T2\mathbb{T}^2 over an irrational rotation of the circle. Combining this with the previous results it implies that the M\"{o}bius disjointness conjecture holds for any CC^\infty skew product system on T2\mathbb{T}^2. (3) TT is a continuous skew product map of the form (ag,y+h(g))(ag,y+h(g)) on G×T1G\times \mathbb{T}^1 over a minimal rotation of the compact metric abelian group GG and TT preserves a measurable section. (4) TT is a tame system.
