In this paper we will modify the Milnor--Thurston map, which maps a one dimensional mapping to a piece-wise linear of the same entropy, and study its properties. This will allow us to give a simple proof of monotonicity of topological…

Let f be a dominant rational map of P^k such that there exists s <k, with lambda_s(f)>lambda_l(f) for all l. Under mild hypotheses, we show that, for A outside a pluripolar set of the group of automorphisms of P^k, the map f o A admits a…

Observational entropy -- a quantity that unifies Boltzmann's entropy, Gibbs' entropy, von Neumann's macroscopic entropy, and the diagonal entropy -- has recently been argued to play a key role in a modern formulation of statistical…

In connection with the Entropy Conjecture it is known that the topological entropy of a continuous graph map is bounded from below by the spectral radius of the induced map on the first homology group. We show that in the case of a…

In this article we consider the ergodic optimization for hyperbolic flows and Lorenz attractors with respect to both continuous and Holder continuous observables. In the context of hyperbolic flows we prove that a Baire generic subset of…

We show that every subshift factor of a ($-\beta$)-shift is intrinsically ergodic, when $\beta\geq \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ and the ($-\beta$)-expansion of $1$ is not periodic with odd period. Moreover, the unique measure of maximal entropy…

The universal bound on specific entropy was originally inferred from black hole thermodynamics. We here show from classical thermodynamics alone that for a system at fixed volume or fixed pressure, the ratio of entropy to nonrelativistic…

Let $(X,d,T )$ be a topological dynamical system with specification property. For $ \alpha\in \mathbb R^+$ and any $x_0\in X$, define $$ \mathbf D^{x_0}_\alpha :=\Big\{x\in X: \lim\limits_{\epsilon\to…

We revisit the maximum-entropy inference of the state of a finite-level quantum system under linear constraints. The constraints are specified by the expected values of a set of fixed observables. We point out the existence of…

In \cite{Mil}, Milnor posed the {\em Monotonicity Conjecture} that the set of parameters within a family of real multimodal polynomial interval maps, for which the topological entropy is constant, is connected. This conjecture was proved…

We prove that any 3-dimensional singular hyperbolic attractor admits for any H\"older continuous potential $V$ at most one equilibrium state for $V$ among regular measures. We give a condition on $V$ which ensures that no singularity can be…

Permutation entropy quantifies the diversity of possible orderings of the values a random or deterministic system can take, as Shannon entropy quantifies the diversity of values. We show that the metric and permutation entropy…

In its continuous version, the entropy functional measuring the information content of a given probability density may be plagued by a "measure" problem that results from improper weighting of phase space. This issue is addressed…

We make the first steps towards an understanding of the ergodic properties of a rational map defined over a complete algebraically closed non-archimedean field. For such a rational map R, we construct a natural invariant probability measure…

We study topological entropy of exactly Devaney chaotic maps on totally regular continua, i.e. on (topologically) rectifiable curves. After introducing the so-called P-Lipschitz maps (where P is a finite invariant set) we give an upper…

Given a compact topological dynamical system (X, f) with positive entropy and upper semi-continuous entropy map, and any closed invariant subset $Y \subset X$ with positive entropy, we show that there exists a continuous roof function such…

In analogy to the topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of totally disconnected locally compact groups, we introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of locally linearly compact vector spaces. We study…

Entropy of all systems that we understand well is proportional to their volumes except for black holes given by their horizon area. This makes the microstates of any quantum theory of gravity drastically different from the ordinary matter.…

In this work we obtain a new criterion to establish ergodicity and non-uniform hyperbolicity of smooth measures of diffeomorphisms. This method allows us to give a more accurate description of certain ergodic components. The use of this…

In this paper it is proved that if a minimal system has the property that its sequence entropy is uniformly bounded for all sequences, then it has only finitely many ergodic measures and is an almost finite to one extension of its maximal…
