Subspaces of interval maps related to the topological entropy

Abstract: For

a i n [0, + i n f t y)

, the function space

E_{g e q a}

(

E_{> a}

;

E_{l e q a}

;

E_{< a}

) of all continuous maps from

[0, 1]

to itself whose topological entropies are larger than or equal to

a

(larger than

a

; smaller than or equal to

a

; smaller than

a

) with the supremum metric is investigated. It is shown that the spaces

E_{g e q a}

and

E_{> a}

are homeomorphic to the Hilbert space

l_{2}

and the spaces

E_{l e q a}

and

E_{< a}

are contractible. Moreover, the subspaces of

E_{l e q a}

and

E_{< a}

consisting of all piecewise monotone maps are homotopy dense in them, respectively.

Review text

\textit{S. Kolyada} et al. [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 35, No. 7, 2151--2170 (2015; Zbl 1352.37115)] studied topological properties of spaces of maps defined in terms of the dynamics of the maps. Here the authors consider subspaces of interval maps defined through the topological entropies of the maps. Let \(C([0,1])\) denote the set of continuous maps on \([0,1]\) with the supremum metric and let \(h(f)\) denote the topological entropy of \(f \in C([0,1])\). One of the authors' main results is that for every \(a \in [0,\infty)\), the function spaces \(E_{\ge a}=\{f \in C([0,1]): h{(f)} \ge a \}\) and \(E_{> a}=\{f \in C([0,1]): h{(f)} > a \}\) are homeomorphic to the Hilbert space \(l_2\). Furthermore, the corresponding function spaces \(E_{\le a}\) and \(E_{< a}\) are contractible and their subspaces consisting of all piecewise monotone maps are homotopy dense in \(E_{\le a}\) and \(E_{< a}\), respectively.
