    The purpose of this note is to study Renyi entropies from the ergodic theory viewpoint. Applications of the Renyi entropies to dynamical systems seem to have first appeared in the physical literature in order to define chaotic behaviour numerically. Here the authors present an elegant and mathematically rigorous approach to Renyi entropies.
