Abstract

Let (X,T)(X,T) be a topological dynamical system. A pair of points (x,y)X2(x,y)\in X^2 is called Banach proximal if for any ϵ>0\epsilon>0, the set {nZ: d(Tnx,Tny)<ϵ}\{n\in\mathbb{Z}:\ d(T^nx,T^ny)<\epsilon\} has Banach density one. We study the structure of the Banach proximal relation. An useful tool is the notion of the support of a topological dynamical system. We show that a dynamical system is strongly proximal if and only if every pair in X2X^2 is Banach proximal. A subset SS of XX is Banach scrambled if every two distinct points in SS form a Banach proximal pair but not asymptotic. We construct a dynamical system with the whole space being a Banach scrambled set. Even though the Banach proximal relation of the full shift is of first category, it has a dense Mycielski invariant Banach scrambled set. We also show that for an interval map it is Li-Yorke chaotic if and only if it has a Cantor Banach scrambled set.
