The notion of expansivity and its generalizations (measure expansive, measure positively expansive, continuum-wise expansive, countably-expansive) are well known for deterministic systems and can be a useful property for studying…

We study the measure theoretic properties of typical C 0 maps of the interval. We prove that any ergodic measure is pseudo-physical, and conversely, any pseudo-physical measure is in the closure of the ergodic measures, as well as in the…

Given an ergodic measure with positive entropy and only positive Lyapunov exponents, its dynamical quantifiers can be approximated by means of quantifiers of some family of uniformly expanding repellers. Here non-uniformly expanding maps…

Ergodic properties of rational maps are studied, generalising the work of F.\ Ledrappier. A new construction allows for simpler proofs of stronger results. Very general conformal measures are considered. Equivalent conditions are given for…

In this paper we study aspects of the ergodic theory of the geodesic flow on a non-compact negatively curved manifold. It is a well known fact that every continuous potential on a compact metric space has a maximizing measure.…

For a circle map $f\colon\mathbb{S}\to\mathbb{S}$ with zero topological entropy, we show that a non-diagonal pair $\langle x,y\rangle\in \mathbb{S}\times \mathbb{S}$ is non-separable if and only if it is an IN-pair if and only if it is an…

Ergodic optimization aims to single out dynamically invariant Borel probability measures which maximize the integral of a given "performance" function. For a continuous self-map of a compact metric space and a dense set of continuous…

The topological entropy of piecewise affine maps is studied. It is shown that singularities may contribute to the entropy only if there is angular expansion and we bound the entropy via the expansion rates of the map. As a corollary we…

We study the existence of Riemannian metrics with zero topological entropy on a closed manifold M with infinite fundamental group. We show that such a metric does not exist if there is a finite simply connected CW complex which maps to M in…

We introduce a class of continuous maps f of a compact metric space I admitting inducing schemes and describe the tower constructions associated with them. We then establish a thermodynamical formalism, i.e., describe a class of real-valued…

In this paper we study ergodic optimization problems for subadditive sequences of functions on a topological dynamical system. We prove that for $t\rightarrow \infty$ any accumulation point of a family of equilibrium states is a maximizing…

We first investigate on the asymptotics of the Kolmogorov metric entropy and nonlinear n-widths of approximation spaces on some function classes on manifolds and quasi-metric measure spaces. Secondly, we develop constructive algorithms to…

We show that $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$ local diffeomorphisms of closed surfaces whose topological entropy is larger than the logarithm of their degree admit a finite number of ergodic measures of maximal entropy. To do this, we construct…

For a $C^\infty$ map on a compact manifold we prove that for a Lebesgue randomly picked point x there is an empirical measure from $x$ with entropy larger than or equal to the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents at $x$.

For general asymptotically sub-additive potentials (resp. asymptotically additive potentials) on general topological dynamical systems, we establish some variational relations between the topological entropy of the level sets of Lyapunov…

Given a compact metric space $X$ and a continuous map $T: X \to X$, the induced hyperspace map $T_\mathcal{K}$ acts on the hyperspace $\mathcal{K}(X)$ of nonempty closed sets of $X$, and the measure-induced map $T_*$ acts on the space of…

It is known that piecewise affine surface homeomorphisms always have measures of maximal entropy. This is easily seen to fail in the discontinuous case. Here we describe a piecewise affine, globally continuous surface map with no measure of…

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…

In this paper, we consider the question of existence and uniqueness of absolutely continuous invariant measures for expanding $C^1$ maps of the circle. This is a question which arises naturally from results which are known in the case of…

Quantum ergodicity asserts that almost all infinite sequences of eigenstates of a quantized ergodic system are equidistributed in the phase space. On the other hand, there are might exist exceptional sequences which converge to different…
