In this work, we show that if f is a uniformly continuous map defined over a Polish metric space, then the set of f -invariant measures with zero metric entropy is a G δ set (in the weak topology). In particular, this set is generic if the set of f -periodic measures is dense in the set of f -invariant measures. This settles a conjecture posed by Sigmund in [30], which states that the metric entropy of an invariant measure of a topological dynamical system that satisfies the periodic specification property is typically zero.We also show that if X is compact and if f is an expansive or a Lipschitz map with a dense set of periodic measures, typically the lower correlation entropy for q ∈ (0, 1) is equal to zero. Moreover, we show that if X is a compact metric space and if f is an expanding map with a dense set of periodic measures, then the set of invariant measures with packing dimension, upper rate of recurrence and upper quantitative waiting time indicator equal to zero is residual.Finally, we present an alternative proof of the fact that the set of expansive measures is a G δσ set in the set of probability measures M(X), if X is a Polish metric space and if f is uniformly continuous (this result was originally proved by Lee, Morales and Shin in [19] for compact metric spaces).
