We show that in a topological dynamical system (X,T) of positive entropy there exist proper (positively) asymptotic pairs, that is, pairs (x,y) such that x\not= y and \lim_{n\to +\infty} d(T^n x,T^n y)=0. More precisely we consider a T-ergodic measure \mu of positive entropy and prove that the set of points that belong to a proper asymptotic pair is of measure one. When T is invertible, the stable classes (i.e. the equivalence classes for the asymptotic equivalence) are not stable under T^{-1…

Topological entropy zero and asymptotic pairs
Let T be a continuous map on a compact metric space (X, d). A pair of distinct points x, y ∈ X is asymptotic if limn→∞d(Tnx, Tny) = 0. We prove the following four conditions to be equivalent: 1.…
Sufficient conditions under which a transitive system is chaotic
Abstract Let (X,T) be a topologically transitive dynamical system. We show that if there is a subsystem (Y,T) of (X,T) such that (X×Y,T×T) is transitive, then (X,T) is strongly chaotic in the sense…
Stable Sets and $$\epsilon$$-Stable Sets in Positive-Entropy Systems
TLDR
It is shown that in any positive-entropy system, there is a measure-theoretically “rather big” set such that the closure of the stable or unstable set of any point from the set contains a weak mixing set.

Existence of asymptotic pairs in positive entropy group actions
We provide a definition of a ≺-asymptotic pair in a topological action of a countable amenable group G, where ≺ is an order on G of type Z. We then prove that if (Õ, ν,G) is a multiorder on G, then…
The speed with which an orbit approaches a limit point
If is a continuous map of a compact metric space , and if is a sequence of positive reals converging to 0, we investigate the properties of the set . We show that is a dense subset of for every when…
When are all closed subsets recurrent?
In the paper we study relations of rigidity, equicontinuity and pointwise recurrence between an invertible topological dynamical system (t.d.s.) $(X,T)$ and the t.d.s. $(K(X),T_{K})$ induced on the…
Product recurrent properties, disjointness and weak disjointness
Let F be a collection of subsets of ℝ+ and (X, T) be a dynamical system; x ∈ X is F-recurrent if for each neighborhood U of x, {n ∈ ℝ+: Tnx ∈ U} ∈ F; x is F-product recurrent if (x, y) is recurrent…
Expansivity of ergodic measures with positive entropy
We prove that for every ergodic invariant measure with positive entropy of a continuous map on a compact metric space there is δ > 0 such that the dynamical δ-balls have measure zero. We use this…

— A cover of some compact set X by two non dense open sets is called a standard cover. In the cartesian square of a flow (X, T ), pairs (x, x′) outside the diagonal are defined as entropy pairs…

Entropy pairs for a measure
Abstract We define entropy pairs for an invariant measure µ on a topological dynamical system (X, T), and show they allow one to construct the maximal topological factorwith entropy 0 for µ. Then we…
