Abstract

Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system, and let $\dim(X,T)$ denote Meyerovitch's dynamical dimension. We prove that, for every integer $n\geq1$, if $\dim(X,T)<n/2$, then the set of maps $f\in C(X,[0,1]^n)$ for which the orbit map $$ I_f: X\longrightarrow([0,1]^n)^{\mathbb{Z}}, \qquad I_f(x)=\bigl(f(T^k x)\bigr)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}, $$ is a topological embedding is a dense $G_\delta$ set. Consequently, $(X,T)$ embeds into $(([0,1]^n)^{\mathbb{Z}},\sigma)$ for some integer $n\geq1$ if and only if $\dim(X,T)<\infty$. The constant $1/2$ and the strict inequality are optimal.

Asymptotic Numerical Ranges and Invariant Subspaces of Operators

For a bounded linear operator $T$ on a complex separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and a vector $x\in \mathcal{H}$, let $W_a(T,x)$ be the set of cluster points of the sequence $\{\langle|T^n|^{1/n}x,x\rangle\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$. We define the asymptotic numerical range and the asymptotic numerical radius of $T$, respec...

A three-dimensional corner configuration involving the Omega function

Let $\Omega(n)$ denote the number of prime factors of $n$, counted with multiplicity. We prove that if $A\subset\mathbb{N}^3$ has positive upper Banach density, then there are $(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{N}^3$ and $d\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $$(x,y,z),(x+d,y,z),(x,y+d,z),(x,y,z+\Omega(d))\in A.$$ To establish the above result, w...

Asymptotic separation of periodic orbits and fractal dimension

For a totally bounded metric dynamical system $(X, d, T)$ we introduce a new critical value $\mathfrak s(X, d, T)$ which quantifies the asymptotic separation of periodic orbits. More precisely, $\mathfrak s(X,d,T)$ is defined to be the supremum of all $s\ge 0$ for which there exists a sequence of periodic orbits $\{\ma...

A Decomposition Theorem for Topological Semi-small Maps

A continuous surjection $f: X \rightarrow Y$ is an almost covering map if there exists a nowhere dense closed set $R \subset Y$ with a finite decomposition $R = \bigsqcup_{\beta} T_{\beta}$ such that the restriction $f\vert_{f^{-1}(Y \setminus R)}$ is a covering map and, for each $\beta$, the restriction $f\vert_{f^{-1...

Foliations and minimality for twist maps

In this paper we consider area-preserving twist maps $f:\mathbf{T}^2\to\mathbf{T}^2$ with vertical rotation sets reduced to a single irrational number $\alpha$. Our first result states that under these hypotheses, there exists a unique $f$-invariant foliation $\mathcal{F}_G=\{\operatorname{Graph}(\phi_t)\}_{t\in\mathbf...

Entropies of compact subsets and supported measures

Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system and $(\mathcal M(X),T_*)$ be its induced system. For a non-empty compact subset $K\subset X$, we define $\mathcal M(K)$ as the set of Borel probability measures supported on $K$. In this paper, we systematically study the relationship between various entropies of $(T,K)$ an...
