Abstract

In this paper we prove that for an ergodic hyperbolic measure ω\omega of a C1+αC^{1+\alpha} diffeomorphism ff on a Riemannian manifold MM, there is an ω\omega-full measured set Λ~\widetilde{\Lambda} such that for every invariant probability μMinv(Λ~,f)\mu\in \mathcal{M}_{inv}(\widetilde{\Lambda},f), the metric entropy of μ\mu is equal to the topological entropy of saturated set GμG_{\mu} consisting of generic points of μ\mu: hμ(f)=h(f,Gμ).h_\mu(f)=h_{\top}(f,G_{\mu}). Moreover, for every nonempty, compact and connected subset KK of Minv(Λ~,f)\mathcal{M}_{inv}(\widetilde{\Lambda},f) with the same hyperbolic rate, we compute the topological entropy of saturated set GKG_K of KK by the following equality: inf{hμ(f)μK}=h(f,GK).\inf\{h_\mu(f)\mid \mu\in K\}=h_{\top}(f,G_K). In particular these results can be applied (i) to the nonuniformy hyperbolic diffeomorphisms described by Katok, (ii) to the robustly transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms described by ~Ma{\~{n}}{\'{e}}, (iii) to the robustly transitive non-partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms described by Bonatti-Viana. In all these cases Minv(Λ~,f)\mathcal{M}_{inv}(\widetilde{\Lambda},f) contains an open subset of Merg(M,f)\mathcal{M}_{erg}(M,f).
