Theorem: Let be $f$ a homeomorphism of a compact metric space $X$, then $$ h_{top}(f)=\sup_{\mu\in \mathcal{M}_{f}}~ h _\mu (f) $$ Question: The above theorem is the famous v …

Let me begin by giving the relevant definitions. A set $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ is said to be central if and only if there exists a topological system $(X,T)$ (with $X$ a compact met …

Let $X_n$ be a random variable distributed on $A_n:=\{1, \ldots, n\}$ and $g_n\colon A_n \to A_n$ such that $\Pr\big(X_n \neq g_n(X_n)\big) \to 0$. Putting $Y_n=g(X_n)$ then by Fan …

Let $T$ be a measure-preserving transformation on a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal B,\mu)$. Assume that for any pair of measurable sets $A,B\in\mathcal B$ with $\mu(A), \mu(B) …

Let $\Omega$ be a standard atomless probability space, we can assume $\Omega=(0,1)$ with Lebesgue measure. A bijection $f:\Omega/A_1\to\Omega/A_2$ is almost automorphism, if $P(A_1 …

Let $X$ be a compact metric space, $T$ a homeomorphism on $X$ and $\mu$ a $T$-invariant probability measure. Let $\phi:X\to\mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function and $\phi_n(x)=\phi( …

There are several different definitions of relative entropy, and some of them are not equivalent. Following is the definition we will use in this question. Let $M$ be a closed man …

I revised the question. In smooth ergodic theory, a diffeomorphism is said to be conservative (I), if it preserves the Lebesgue measure. So for some of us, conservativity is just s …

Given $\sigma$ a shift map, $m$ - a Markov measure, $C_a$, $C_b$ - cylinder sets. Suppose $P \in C_b$. The problem is to show the following \begin{equation} m(C_a \cap \sigma^{-1}( …

Let $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P)$ be a probability space where $\Omega$ is a complete separable metric space, let $T:\Omega\to \Omega$ be an ergodic transformation, let $\hat{T}:L^{2}_ …

Good afternoon. Can anybody give me an example of a continuous map $T:X\to X$ defined on a Polish space $X$ which admits an invariant Borel probability measure but no ergodic Bor …

Hello all. Suppose $X$ is a Polish space, $\mu$ is a Borel probability measure on $X$, and $T:X \to X$ is a continuous $\mu$-preserving map which is not ergodic. Does there neces …

There has been already several questions asking for an introduction to quantum mechanics for a mathematician, but this ons is slightly different, and more restrictive. I know (some …

An easy question that I have never been able to answer. Suppose we have the CA on $\{ 0,1,2 \}^{\mathbb{N}}$ with local rule given by $f(x,y)=A_{x,y}$ and $A$ the $3\times 3$ matri …

On the space $S=\{ 0,1,\ldots,m \}^{\mathbb{N}}$ for some $m\in \mathbb{Z}_{+}.$ And given a probability $\mu$ on it. Is it true that $\mu$ is fully supported if and only if it is …
