Abstract: We study a class of asymptotically entropy-expansive C1 diffeomorphisms with dominated splitting on a compact manifold M, that satisfy the specification property. This class includes, in particular, transitive Anosov diffeomorphisms and time-one maps of transitive Anosov flows. We consider the nonempty set of physical-like measures that attracts the empirical probabilities (i.e. the time averages) of Lebesgue-almost all the orbits. We define the set IfcapGammafsubsetM of irregular points without physical-like behaviour. We prove that, if not all the invariant measures of f satisfy Pesin Entropy Formula (for instance in the Anosov case), then IfcapGammaf has full topological entropy. We also obtain this result for some class of asymptotically entropy-expansive continuous maps on a compact metric space, if the set of physical-like measures are equilibrium states with respect to some continuous potential. Finally, we prove that also the set (MsetminusIf)capGammaf of regular points without physical-like behaviour, has full topological entropy.


The authors focus on some properties of \(C^1\) dynamical systems, instead of well-understood \({C^{1+\alpha}}\) systems. The main result states that, for a \(C^1\) Anosov diffeomorphism \(f\) on a compact Riemannian manifold \(M\), the sets \({\Gamma_f\cap I_f}\) and \({\Gamma_f\cap R_f}\) have full topological entropy. Here \[ I_f=\bigcup_{\varphi\in C^0(M,\mathbb{R})}\left\{x\in M:\frac{1}{n}\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}\varphi(f^jx)\text{ is not convergent}\right\} \] is the set of irregular points, \({R_f=M\setminus I_f}\) is the set of regular points, and \(\Gamma_f\) is the set of points without physical-like behaviour. More precisely, \[ \Gamma_f=\{x\in M:\mathcal{O}_f\cap pw_f(x)=\emptyset\}, \] where \(\mathcal{O}_f\) is the set of physical-like measure, and \(pw(x)\) is the set of \(f\)-invariant probability measure which is a limit point of the sequence \({\frac{1}{n}\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}\delta_{f^jx}}.\) The proof uses topological and metric properties of asymptotically entropy-expansive maps, formulae for the topological entropy of saturated sets, and the Pesin entropy formula for physical-like measures found in [\textit{E. Catsigeras} et al., Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 35, No. 3, 737--761 (2015; Zbl 1356.37047)].
