Review text

This paper studies dynamics of Hamiltonian systems via persistence modules arising from Floer theory. More precisely, the relationship between the barcode entropy and the topological entropy is studied. For a persistence module, the barcode entropy is defined as\N\[\N\hbar = \lim_{\varepsilon \to 0^+} \limsup_{\tau \to \infty} \frac{\max(0,\log_2 \mathfrak b_\varepsilon(\tau))}{\tau},\N\]\Nwhere \(\mathfrak b_\varepsilon(\tau)\) are the number of bars of length greater than \(\varepsilon\), beginning in the range \([0,\tau)\) in the barcode of the persistence module. Letting \((M, \alpha)\) be a cooriented Liouville fillable contact manifold, the topological entropy of the Reeb flow \(\varphi^t_\alpha\) is denoted by \(h_{\mathrm{top}}(\alpha)\), and it was proven by \textit{E. Fender} et al. [``Barcode entropy for Reeb flows on contact manifolds with Liouville fillings, Preprint, \url{arXiv:2305.04770}] that \(\hbar(\alpha) \leq h_{\mathrm{top}}(\alpha)\).\N\NThe main result of the paper under review is a comparison between the barcode and topological entropies in the opposite direction, when restricted to hyperbolic sets: If \(K\) is a compact hyperbolic invariant set of the Reeb flow \(\varphi^t_\alpha\), then \(\hbar(\alpha) \geq h_{\mathrm{top}}(\varphi^t_\alpha|_K)\). In dimension \(3\), the topological entropy of \(\alpha\) is the supremum over the topological entropy restricted to hyperbolic invariant sets, which leads to the equality \(\hbar(\alpha) = h_{\mathrm{top}}(\alpha)\) if \(\dim M = 3\).
