We show that if a continuous self-map of a compact metric space is h-expansive and satisfies the shadowing property, then every non-empty uniformly rigid subset is zero-dimensional, and hence the set of periodic points is also…

We study the jump of topological entropy for $C^r$ interval or circle maps. We prove in particular that the topological entropy is continuous at any $f \in C^r([0; 1])$ with $h_{top}(f) > \frac{\log^+ \|f'\|_\infty}{r}$. To this end we…

We solve Talagrand's entropy problem: the L_2-covering numbers of every uniformly bounded class of functions are exponential in its shattering dimension. This extends Dudley's theorem on classes of {0,1}-valued functions, for which the…

Various lower bounds are established for the entropy of sums, products and their combinations. First, we derive a prime-field analogue of a version of the entropy power inequality established by Tao over torsion-free groups. Next, we prove…

This paper investigates entropic matroids, that is, matroids whose rank function is given as the Shannon entropy of random variables. In particular, we consider $p$-entropic matroids, for which the random variables each have support of…

For a class of piecewise hyperbolic maps in two dimensions, we propose a combinatorial definition of topological entropy by counting the maximal, open, connected components of the phase space on which iterates of the map are smooth. We…

We compare real and complex dynamics for automorphisms of rational surfaces that are obtained by lifting \chg{some} quadratic birational maps of the plane. In particular, we show how to exploit the existence of an invariant cubic curve to…

We study the dynamical properties of ball expanding maps, a class of continuous self-maps defined on compact metric spaces. For a ball expanding map, we show that: (1) the set of periodic points is dense in the chain recurrent set; (2) if…

Let $f$ be an holomorphic endomorphism of $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^k$. We construct by using coding techniques a class of ergodic measures as limits of non-uniform probability measures on preimages of points. We show that they have large…

In this paper, we study the topological entropy and the Hausdorff dimension of a shrinking target set. We give lower and upper bounds of topological entropy and Hausdorff dimension for dynamical systems with exponential specification…

We consider certain correspondences on a Riemann surface, and show that they admit a weak form of hyperbolicity: sufficiently long loops get shorter under lifting at a fixed point and closing. In terms of their algebraic encoding by bisets,…

Given $r \geq 3$, we prove that there exists $\lambda >0$ depending only on $r$ so that if $G$ is a metric graph of rank $r$ with metric entropy $1$, then there exists a proper subgraph $H$ of $G$ with metric entropy at least $\lambda$.…

Expanding Thurston maps were introduced by M. Bonk and D. Meyer with motivation from complex dynamics and Cannon's conjecture from geometric group theory via Sullivan's dictionary. In this paper, we show that the entropy map of an expanding…

Let $f$ be an expansive Lorenz map and $c$ be the critical point. The survivor set is denoted as $S_{f}(H):=\{x\in[0,1]: f^{n}(x)\notin H, \forall n\geq 0\}$, where $H$ is a open subinterval. Here we study the hole $H=(a,b)$ with $a\leq c…

The convex hull of the subgraph of the prime counting function $x\rightarrow \pi(x)$ is a convex set, bounded from above by a graph of some piecewise affine function $x\rightarrow \epsilon(x)$. The vertices of this function form an infinite…

This article addresses the problem of computing the topological entropy of an application $\psi : G \to G$, where $G$ is a Lie group, given by some power $\psi(g) = g^k$, with $k$ a positive integer. When $G$ is commutative, $\psi$ is an…

Let A_E be the canonical AF subalgebra of a graph C*-algebra C*(E) associated with a locally finite directed graph E. For Brown-Voiculescu's topological entropy ht(\Phi_E) of the canonical completely positive map \Phi_E on C*(E),…

A map $f$ on a compact metric space is expansive if and only if $f^n$ is expansive. We study the exponential rate of decay of the expansive constant of $f^n$. A major result is that this rate times box dimension bounds topological entropy.

Let f be a sum of exponentials of the form exp(2 pi i N x), where the N are distinct integers. We call f an idempotent trigonometric polynomial (because the convolution of f with itself is f) or, simply, an idempotent. We show that for…

Let $G$ be a topological group, let $\phi$ be a continuous endomorphism of $G$ and let $H$ be a closed $\phi$-invariant subgroup of $G$. We study whether the topological entropy is an additive invariant, that is,…
