On the large deviation rates of non-entropy-approachable measures (Q379586)

Let \(f\) be a continuous map from a compact metric space onto itself. In the present paper, the authors investigate the following three types of approximation of a non-ergodic \(f\)-invariant measure: {\parindent=0,8cm \begin{itemize} \item[WA:] approximated weakly by ergodic measures. \item [EA:] approximated weakly by ergodic measures with singular entropies. \item [RA:] approximated weakly by ergodic measures with similar large deviation rates. NEWLINENEWLINE\end{itemize}} By definition EA implies WA, and RA implies WA. The main purpose of the present paper is, roughly speaking, to show that the contrary is not true: the authors prove the existence of an invariant non-ergodic measure (in a specific setting) which is WA, but neither EA nor RA. The precise definitions of the notions of approximation and the full statement of the main theorem are too long to be presented here.
