Topological entropy and partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds where the unstable and stable foliations stably carry some unique non-trivial homologies. We prove the following two results: if the center foliation is one dimensional, then the topological entropy is locally a constant; and if the center foliation is two dimensional, then the topological entropy is continuous on the set of all C8 diffeomorphisms. The proof uses a topological invariant we introduced; Yomdin's theorem on upper semi-continuity; Katok's theorem on lower semi-continuity for two dimensional systems and a refined Pesin-Ruelle inequality we proved for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms.
