We prove that for $\mathcal{C}^{1,\alpha}$ diffeomorphisms on a compact manifold $M$ with ${\rm dim} M\leq 3$, if an invariant measure $\mu$ is a continuity point of the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents, then $\mu$ is an upper…

We establish a general criterion on the upper semi-continuity of partial entropy in all directions for $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphisms: it holds when the respective sums of Lyapunov exponents are continuous. This addresses, in arbitrary…

We study the entropy and Lyapunov exponents of invariant measures $\mu$ for smooth surface diffeomorphisms $f$, as functions of $(f,\mu)$. The main result is an inequality relating the discontinuities of these functions. One consequence is…

We prove that the entropy map for countable Markov shifts of finite entropy is upper semi-continuous at ergodic measures. Note that the phase space is non-compact. Applications to systems that can be coded by these shifts, such as positive…

For any C1 diffeomorphism with dominated splitting we consider a nonempty set of invariant measures which describes the asymptotic statistics of Lebesgue-almost all orbits. They are the limits of convergent subsequences of averages of the…

For differentiable dynamical systems with dominated splittings, we give upper estimates on the measure-theoretic tail entropy in terms of Lyapunov exponents. As our primary application, we verify the upper semi-continuity of metric entropy…

In this article, we give an upper bound estimate for the quantitative loss of the upper semi-continuity of the metric entropy for $C^r\:(r>1)$ diffeomorphisms. Building on earlier entropy estimates and reparametrization methods, we optimize…

We prove a finite smooth version of the entropic continuity of Lyapunov exponents of Buzzi-Crovisier-Sarig for $C^\infty$ surface diffeomorphisms [9]. As a consequence we show that any $C^r$, $r > 1$, smooth surface diffeomorphism $f$ with…

Let $f:M\rightarrow M$ be a $C^1$ diffeomorphism with a dominated splitting on a compact Riemanian manifold $M$ without boundary. We state and prove several sufficient conditions for the topological entropy of $f$ to be positive. The…

We prove the entropic continuity of Lyapunov exponent for C^r maps of the interval or of the circle with large entropy for r>1, without making any assumptions on the set of critical points. A consequence is the upper semi-continuity of…

The (measure-theoretical) entropy of a diffeomorphism along an expanding invariant foliation is the rate of complexity generated by the diffeomorphism along the leaves of the foliation. We prove that this number varies upper…

In this paper we study the relationship between Lyapunov exponents and the induced map on cohomology for $C^{1}-$diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. We show that if the induced map on cohomology has spectral radius strictly larger than 1,…

We show that the continuity property of Lyapunov exponents proved in \cite{BCS-Exponents} for smooth surface diffeomorphisms extends to smooth interval maps, in the case when the map only has non-flat critical points and the entropies…

We show that the metric entropy of a $C^1$ diffeomorphism with a dominated splitting and the dominating bundle uniformly expanding is bounded from above by the integrated volume growth of the dominating (expanding) bundle plus the maximal…

We establish sufficient conditions for the upper semicontinuity and the continuity of the entropy of Sinai probability measures invariant by partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms and discuss their application in several examples.

Let $M$ be a compact manifold and $f:\,M\to M$ be a $C^1$ diffeomorphism on $M$. If $\mu$ is an $f$-invariant probability measure which is absolutely continuous relative to Lebesgue measure and for $\mu$ $a.\,\,e.\,\,x\in M,$ there is a…
