A zero topological entropy map with recurrent points not $F \sigma $





It is shown that there is a continuous map \(\chi\) of the unit interval \(I\) into itself of type \(2^{\infty}\) which has a trajectory disjoint from the set \(\text{Rec}(\chi)\) of recurrent points of \(\chi\), but contained in its closure \(\overline{\text{Rec}(\chi)}\). In particular, \(\text{Rec}(\chi)\) is not closed. A map \(\psi :I\to I\) of type \(2^{\infty}\) with nonclosed set of recurrent points was found by \textit{C. Hsin} and \textit{J. Xiong} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 97, 361-366 (1986; Zbl 0634.58021)], but there is no trajectory contained in \(\overline{\text{Rec}(\psi)}\setminus\text{Rec}(\psi)\). The main results are as follows: Theorem 1: There is a map \(f\in C(I,I)\) with zero topological entropy such that \(\text{Rec}(f)\) is not an \(F_{\sigma}\) set. Theorem 2: Let \(f\in C(I,I)\). If \(\text{Rec}(f)\) is an \(F_{\sigma}\) set, then \(f\) has zero topological entropy or, equivalently, is of type \(\leq 2^{\infty}\). Theorem 1 disproves a conjecture of \textit{A. N. Sharkovsky} et al. [Dynamics of one-dimensional maps, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht (1997; Zbl 0881.58020)]: the property of ``zero topological entropy is equivalent to ``\(\text{Rec}(f)\) is an \(F_{\sigma}\) set.
