Measures of intermediate entropies for star vector fields (Q2218735)

The authors investigate star vector fields on \(d\)-dimensional closed Riemannian manifolds including multisingular hyperbolic vector fields and Lorenz attractors. In particular, they prove that every star vector field has the intermediate entropy property and show the lower semicontinuity of the topological entropy of star vector fields. To obtain their main results, the authors study the approximation of the topological entropy of a star vector field by means of the topological entropy of hyperbolic horseshoes and prove the intermediate entropy property for suspension flows over shifts of finite type generated by irreducible matrices.
