Abstract

We aim to investigate the dimension theory of α\alpha-pressure-like quantities. By means of the Caratheˊ\acute{\rm e}odory-Pesin structure, we define α\alpha-BS dimension and α\alpha-Pesin topological pressure on subsets using α\alpha-Bowen metric dnα(x,y)=max0in1eαid(fix,fiy),d_{n}^{\alpha}(x,y)=\max_{0\leq i\leq n-1}e^{\alpha i}d(f^{i}x,f^{i}y), where α0\alpha \geq 0. Specifically, we show that α\alpha-BS dimension and α\alpha-Pesin topological pressure are related by a Bowen's equation. Inspired by the classical Brin-Katok entropy, we introduce the notion of α\alpha-local Brin-Katok entropy, and establish a variational principle for α\alpha-BS dimension on compact subsets in terms of α\alpha-local Brin-Katok entropy. Besides, for subshifts of finite type, we prove that α\alpha-Bowen topological entropy is closely related to spectral radius and Hausdorff dimension.
