Abstract: We present a unifying approach to the study of entropies in Mathematics, such as measure entropy, topological entropy, algebraic entropy, set-theoretic entropy. We take into account discrete dynamical systems, that is, pairs (X,T), where X is the underlying space and T:XoX a transformation. We see entropies as functions h:mathfrakXomathbbR+, associating to each flow (X,T) of a category mathfrakX either a non negative real or infty. We introduce the notion of semigroup entropy hmathfrakS:mathfrakSomathbbR+, which is a numerical invariant attached to endomorphisms of the category mathfrakS of normed semigroups. Then, for a functor F:mathfrakXomathfrakS from any specific category mathfrakX to mathfrakS, we define the functorial entropy hF:mathfrakXomathbbR+ as the composition hmathfrakScircF. Clearly, hF inherits many of the properties of hmathfrakS, depending also on the properties of F. Such general scheme permits to obtain relevant known entropies as functorial entropies hF, for appropriate categories mathfrakX and functors F, and to establish the properties shared by them. In this way we point out their common nature. Finally, we discuss and deeply analyze through the looking glass of our unifying approach the relations between pairs of entropies. To this end we formalize the notion of Bridge Theorem between two entropies hi:mathfrakXiomathbbR+, i=1,2, with respect to a functor varepsilon:mathfrakX1omathfrakX2. Then, for pairs of functorial entropies we use the above scheme to introduce the notion and the related scheme of Strong Bridge Theorem, which allows us to put under the same umbrella various relations between pairs of entropies.
