Fixed mistake at the end of the proof (T fibers over the circle but it doesn't have to induce an automorphism on each fiber)

Aug 30, 2016 at 19:29 comment added Andres Koropecki Yes, if you consider just homeomorphisms, you can have all sorts of weird things. For example a transitive homeomorphism with a fixed point would be an example with a Li-Yorke pair, and this can have zero entropy (for example it can be the time-one map of a flow, as the example described in this thread)
Aug 30, 2016 at 13:46 comment added Will Brian Oh, I see. I'm looking at the torus as a topological space, and as such it has lots of "automorphisms" (which I took to mean self-homeomorphisms). You're looking at it as a Lie Group, where all the "automorphisms" are translations by a group element (linear). Looking at the question again, I think your reading might be the intended one, and your answer now makes sense to me. (Interestingly, I think one gets the opposite answer under my reading of the question.)
Aug 30, 2016 at 0:11 comment added Andres Koropecki I thought linear automorphisms are all there is. Am I missing something?
Aug 29, 2016 at 18:21 comment added Will Brian I'm a bit confused when you say that your claim answers the question negatively. Your claim suggests that the question might have a negative answer, but it leaves open the possibility that a non-linear automorphism of the torus might have zero entropy and have a Li-Yorke pair. Correct?
