Bohr chaoticity of topological dynamical systems (Q2172507): Difference between revisions

Let \((X,T)\) be a topological dynamical system. \((X,T)\) is said to be Bohr chaotic if it is not orthogonal to any (non-trivial) weights \((w_n)_{n\geq 0}\in \ell^{\infty}(N)\). Among systems with positive entropy, the authors provide certain Bohr chaotic systems as well as some non-Bohr chaotic systems. They prove that Bohr chaos exists in any system with a horseshoe and that dynamical systems that are uniquely ergodic are not Bohr chaotic. Furthermore, it is shown that all toral affine systems of positive entropy are Bohr chaotic. Among other results, let us mention the following: Theorem. Let \((X,T)\) be a topological dynamical system. Let \(K\) be a \(T^{\tau}\)-invariant compact subset \((\tau \geq 1)\) with \(\tau\) as its first return time. If \((K,T^{\tau})\) is Bohr chaotic, so is \((X,T)\). Many open problems are mentioned. Some appendices are given at the end of the paper.
