Adjoint entropy vs topological entropy (Q429331)

The author introduces the notion of topological adjoint entropy of continuous endomorphisms of topological abelian groups. The author first studies some basic properties of the topological adjoint entropy, with respect to the typical properties of known entropies, and then the connections of the topological adjoint entropy with the topological entropy and the algebraic entropy. In particular, it is shown that the topological adjoint entropy coincides with the topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of totally disconnected compact abelian groups. Similarly to the Bridge Theorems for adjoint algebra entropy and the algebra entropy, the author proves the following Bridge Theorem: the topological adjoint entropy of a continuous endomorphism \(\phi\) of a compact (resp. precompact) abelian groups \((G,\tau)\) is the same as the algebraic entropy of the dual endomorphism \(\widehat{\phi}\) of \(\phi\) of the discrete Pontryagin dual \(\widehat{(G,\tau)}\) (resp. the precompact dual \((G,\tau)^\dag\)) of \((G,\tau)\).
