Abstract: For area preserving $C^2$ surface diffeomorphisms, we give an explicit finite information condition, on the exponential growth of the number of Bowen's $(n,delta)-$balls needed to cover a positive proportion of the space, that is sufficient to guarantee positive topological entropy. This can be seen as an effective version of Katok's horseshoe theorem in the conservative setting. We also show that the analogous result is false in dimension larger than $3$.

Review text

Let $f$ be a continuous mapping of a metric space $(X,d)$ into itself. For a natural $n$ and $\delta>0$, Bowen's $(n,\delta)$-ball centered at $x\in X$ is the set \[ B_f(x,n,\delta)=\{y\in X:\,d(f^i(x),f^i(y))<\delta,\quad 0\leq i\leq n-1\}. \] Let $f$ be a volume-preserving $C^2$ diffeomorphism of a compact surface $X$ such that its first and second derivatives satisfy the estimates $|Df|\leq A$ and $|D^2f|\leq B$. The authors give an explicit estimate involving the values $A$ and $B$ of the rate of exponential growth of the number of $(n,\delta)$-balls needed to cover a positive proportion of the phase space. This estimate allows them to obtain an effective sufficient condition under which $f$ has positive topological entropy.
