Measure theoretical entropy of covers

Dynamical Systems 2008-10-24 v1

Abstract

In this paper we introduce three notions of measure theoretical entropy of a measurable cover U in a measure theoretical dynamical system. Two of them were already introduced in [R] and the new one is defined only in the ergodic case. We then prove that these three notions coincide, thus answering a question posed in [R] and recover a variational inequality (proved in [GW]) and a proof of the classical variational principle based on a comparison between the entropies of covers and partitions.
