pseudo-orbit sensitivity shadowing property specification property topological entropy weak mixing

Dynamical systems involving transformations and group actions with special properties (minimality, distality, proximality, expansivity, etc.) (37B05) Topological entropy (37B40) Smooth ergodic theory, invariant measures for smooth dynamical systems (37C40) Approximate trajectories (pseudotrajectories, shadowing, etc.) in smooth dynamics (37C50)

Abstract: We show that a non-wandering dynamical system with the shadowing property is either equicontinuous or has positive entropy and that in this context uniformly positive entropy is equivalent to weak mixing. We also show that weak mixing together with the shadowing property imply the specification property with a special kind of regularity in tracing (a weaker version of periodic specification property). This in turn implies that the set of ergodic measures supported on the closures of orbits of regularly recurrent points is dense in the space of all invariant measures (in particular, invariant measures in such a system form the Poulsen simplex, up to an affine homeomorphism).

Review text

The authors study consequences of the shadowing property for a dynamical system on a compact metric space \(X\). A dynamical system is here an action of a continuous map \(f: X\to X\). To avoid trivialities, one has to assume that the set of nonwandering points of \(f\) is the whole space \(X\). Under that hypothesis the following dichotomy is proved: a system with the shadowing property is either equicontinuous or has positive topological entropy. The proof is based on the following observation: For every open neighborhood \(U\) of a sensitive point, there are a positive integer \(m\) and a nonempty closed \(f^m\)-invariant set \(Y\subset U\), which is an extension of the full shift over the alphabet \(\{0,1\}\). It is also proved that for maps with the shadowing property, the properties ``topological weak mixing, ``Blanchard's property P, and ``uniform positive entropy of all orders are mutually equivalent. (For more information on the last two properties see [\textit{F. Blanchard}, Contemp. Math. 135, 95--105 (1992; Zbl 0783.54033); \textit{W. Huang} and \textit{X. Ye}, Isr. J. Math. 151, 237--279 (2006; Zbl 1122.37013)].) Finally, using a technique originating in the work of \textit{K. Sigmund} [Invent. Math. 11, 99--109 (1970; Zbl 0193.35502)], the authors prove that if \(f\) is weakly mixing and has the shadowing property, then the ergodic measures supported on regularly recurrent points are dense in the simplex of all \(f\)-invariant Borel probability measures.
