Abstract: In this note we give simple examples of a one-dimensional mixing subshift with positive topological entropy which have two distinct measures of maximal entropy. We also give examples of subshifts which have two mutually singular equilibrium states for H"{o}lder continuous functions. We also indicate how the construction can be extended to yield examples with any number of measures of maximal entropy of equilibrium states.

Review text

The author provides straightforward examples of one-dimensional mixing subshifts with positive topological entropy which have two distinct measures of maximal entropy. This construct is then generalised to yield subshifts with any number of distinct ergodic measures of maximal entropy, including infinitely many of them. The author also gives an example of a subshift which has two mutually singular equilibrium states for Hölder continuous potentials. This example is then extended to the case of any number of equilibrium states, including infinitely many of them.
