Weak$^*$ convergence of measures vs. convergence of supports
Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $\mathcal M(X)$ denote the set of probability measures on $X$. For $\mu\in\mathcal M(X)$ we write $\text{supp} \mu$ for the support of $\mu$. It is easy to ...

Factor map between subshifts preserving topological pressure (or measure-theoretic entropy)
Let $G$ be a countable amenable group and let $X,Y$ be subshifts with finite alphabet over $G$. Suppose that $h(X) = h(Y)$ (equal topological entropy). I am interested in continuous factor maps $\pi: ...

Construction of minimal zero entropy measure-theoretically strong mixing subshift?
Does anyone know of a construction of a subshift (over $\mathbb{Z}$) which is
(1) minimal
(2) zero (topological) entropy
(3) measure-theoretically strong mixing (for some measure)?
I am in particular ...

$C^{1+\epsilon}$ conjugacy of expanding map on circle
A continuously differentiable map $f:S^{1}\rightarrow S^{1}$ is called expanding if $|f^{'}(x)|>1$ for all $x\in S^{1}$.
We can define the degree of f, def(f) to be number of preimage $f^{-1}(x)$, ...

Completeness of the space of measures under $d$-bar metric
Does anybody know the reference to a proof of the following fact (which is not hard to prove, but seems to be well-known, see here): The space of shift-invariant measures under Ornstein's d-bar metric ...

Growth in families of trees
I'm hoping that the question below is simple thermodynamic formalism, but I can't quite make it work. Any help would be very welcome.
Let $\Sigma:=\{0,1\}^{\mathbb N}$ and let $\Sigma^*$ be the set ...

Weighted distribution of irrational rotation
Let $\theta\in [0,1]\setminus\mathbb{Q}$. Let $\alpha_0=\theta$ and $\alpha_1=1$. Let $0<p_0<1$ and $p_1=1-p_0$. For a finite word $I=(i_1, i_2, \dots, i_n)\in \{0,1\}^n$, denote by $I'=(i_1, ...

Repartition of 1's in the "Chacon word"
Consider the "Chacon words": $B_0=0$ and $B_{n+1} = B_nB_n1B_n$. The word $B_n$ has $\ell_n := \frac{3^{n+1}-1}{2}$ digits and the number of $1$'s in $B_n$ is $\ell_n - 3^n = \ell_{n-1} \sim \ell_n/3$...

Topological pressure for subshifts on a countable alphabet
Apologies for asking two similar questions within a week of each other, I had hoped that asking a finite alphabet version of this question would lead to enlightenment but unfortunately it didn't.

Chaotic dynamics of maps on unit square that are NOT Triangular
We will denote the compact interval $[0,1]$ by $I$ and the unit square $[0,1]\times[0,1]$ by $I^2$. Triangular map on $I^2$ is a continuous map $F:I^2\to I^2$ of the form $F(x,y)=(f(x),g(x,y))$ where $...

Is there a condition for a subshift of finite type to be uniquely ergodic?
Are SFTs uniquely ergodic in general, or is there a known necessary and sufficient condition for them to be uniquely ergodic?

Number of permitted words up to permutation in a subshift
Let $A$ be a finite set and let $X \subseteq A^{\mathbb{N}}$ be a subshift. Let $\mathcal{L}_n$ denote the set of words of length $n$ appearing in $X$. For a word $w \in \mathcal{L}_n$, one can ...

weak-* versus entropy growth
General question. Let $\eta_{n}$ be a sequence of invariant measures on $\{0,1,2,...,p-1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ and $B$ the Bernoulli uniform measure. Knowing that $\eta_{n} \rightarrow B$ in the weak-* ...

Entropy of factors of Bernoulli schemes
Let $X$ be a Bernoulli scheme. A factor $\psi: X \to Y$ is finitary if for almost every $x \in X$ there exist integers $m \leq n$ such that the zero coordinates of $\psi(x)$ and $\psi(x')$ agree for ...

Finitary factors of Bernoulli schemes that pair duals
This question is related to my question:
entropy preserving finitary factor maps of Bernoulli schemes.
Hopefully, this one is a bit easier.
Let $X=\{0,1\}^\mathbb{Z}$ with measure $\mu=(p,1-p)^{\...

On a certain set of probability measures on a shift
Denote by $\mathbb{Z}_2=\{0,1\}$ the integers modulo 2.
Let $S:\mathbb{Z}_{2}^{\mathbb{N}}\times\mathbb{Z}_{2}^{\mathbb{N}} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_{2}^{\mathbb{N}}$ be the sum $S(a,b) = a+b$, where $...
