Abstract

In this paper, we study a dynamical property of an exact endofunctor Φ:DD\Phi : \mathcal{D} \to \mathcal{D} of a triangulated category D\mathcal{D}. In particular, we are interested in the following question: Given full triangulated subcategories A,BD\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B} \subset \mathcal{D} such that Φ(A)A\Phi(\mathcal{A}) \subset \mathcal{A} and Φ(B)B\Phi(\mathcal{B}) \subset \mathcal{B}, how the categorical entropies of ΦA\Phi|_\mathcal{A} and ΦB\Phi|_\mathcal{B} are related? To answer this question, we introduce new entropy-type invariants using bounded (co-)t-structures with finite (co-)hearts and prove their basic properties. We then apply these results to answer our question for the situation where A\mathcal{A} has a bounded t-structure and B\mathcal{B} has a bounded co-t-structure which are, in some sense, dual to each other.
