Genericity and rigidity for slow entropy transformations (Q1998995)

The article deals with the notion of slow entropy for \(\mathbb{Z}\)-actions of Lebesgue measure-preserving transformations [\textit{A. Katok} and \textit{J.-P. Thouvenot}, Ann. Inst. Henri Poincare, Probab. Stat. 33, No. 3, 323--338 (1997; Zbl 0884.60009)]. The author constructively proves three main results: (i) There exists a dense set of invertible measure-preserving transformations with infinite upper slow entropy with respect to subexponential rate function; (ii) There exists a dense set of invertible measure-preserving transformations with zero lower slow entropy with respect to divergent rate function; (iii) There exists a set \(\mathcal{F}\) of rigid, weak mixing-transformations such that given any subexponential rate, there exists a transformation in \(\mathcal{F}\) with infinite lower slow entropy under that rate. The author also compares the notion of slow entropy in the framework of entropy convergence rates (see [\textit{F. Blume}, Math. Z. 271, No. 3--4, 723--750 (2012; Zbl 1283.37008)]).
