We show that a $C^{1}$-generic non-partially hyperbolic symplectic diffeomorphism $f$ has topological entropy equal to the supremum of the sum of the positive Lyapunov exponents of its hyperbolic periodic points. Moreover, we also prove that $f$ has topological entropy approximated by the topological entropy of $f$ restricted to basic hyperbolic sets. In particular, the topological entropy map is lower semicontinuous in a $C^{1}$-generic set of symplectic diffeomorphisms far from partial hyperbolicity.

AbstractWe prove that if f is a C1-generic symplectic diffeomorphism then the Oseledets splitting along almost every orbit is either trivial or partially hyperbolic. In addition, if f is not Anosov then all the exponents in the centre bundle vanish. This establishes in full a result announced by Mañé at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1983. The main technical novelty is a probabilistic method for the construction of perturbations, using random walks.

AbstractWe prove that a${C}^{1} $generic symplectic diffeomorphism is either Anosov or its topological entropy is bounded from below by the supremum over the smallest positive Lyapunov exponent of its periodic points. We also prove that${C}^{1} $generic symplectic diffeomorphisms outside the Anosov ones do not admit symbolic extension and, finally, we give examples of volume preserving surface diffeomorphisms which are not points of upper semicontinuity of the entropy function in the${C}^{1} $topology.

It is known that volume hyperbolicity (partial hyperbolicity and uniform expansion or contraction of the volume in the extremal bundles) is a necessary condition for robust transitivity or robust chain recurrence and hence for tameness. In this paper, on any $3$-manifold we build examples of quasi-attractors which are volume hyperbolic and wild at the same time. As a main corollary, we see that, for any closed $3$-manifold $M$, the space $\text{Diff}^{1}(M)$ admits a non-empty open set where every $C^{1}$-generic diffeomorphism has no attractors or repellers. The main tool of our construction is the notion of flexible periodic points introduced in the authors’ previous paper. In order to eject the flexible points from the quasi-attractor, we control the topology of the quasi-attractor using the notion of partially hyperbolic filtrating Markov partitions, which we introduce in this paper.

We study the Hausdorff dimension of invariant sets for expanding maps and that of hyperbolic sets on unstable manifolds. Upper bounds for the Hausdorff dimension are given in terms of topological pressure, or topological entropy and Lyapunov exponents.

We study a rich family of robustly non-hyperbolic transitive diffeomorphisms and we show that each ergodic measure is approached by hyperbolic sets in weak$\ast$-topology and in entropy. For hyperbolic ergodic measures, it is a classical result of A. Katok. The novelty here is to deal with non-hyperbolic ergodic measures. As a consequence, we obtain the continuity of topological entropy.

AbstractWe introduce a functor which associates to every measure-preserving system (X,ℬ,μ,T) a topological system $(C_2(\mu ),\tilde {T})$ defined on the space of twofold couplings of μ, called the topological lens of T. We show that often the topological lens ‘magnifies’ the basic measure dynamical properties of T in terms of the corresponding topological properties of $\tilde {T}$. Some of our main results are as follows: (i) T is weakly mixing if and only if $\tilde {T}$ is topologically transitive (if and only if it is topologically weakly mixing); (ii) T has zero entropy if and only if $\tilde {T}$ has zero topological entropy, and T has positive entropy if and only if $\tilde {T}$ has infinite topological entropy; (iii) for T a K-system, the topological lens is a P-system (i.e. it is topologically transitive and the set of periodic points is dense; such systems are also called chaotic in the sense of Devaney).

We give a characterization of complex and simple interval maps and circle maps (in the sense of positive or zero topological entropy respectively), formulated in terms of the description of the dynamics of the map on its chain recurrent set. We also describe the behavior of complex maps on their periodic points.
