Measures of maximal entropy for surface diffeomorphisms

Abstract: We show that C ∞ surface diffeomorphisms with positive topological entropy have at most finitely many ergodic measures of maximal entropy in general, and at most one in the topologically transitive case. This answers a question of Newhouse, who proved that such measures always exist. To do this we generalize Smale's spectral decomposition theorem to non-uniformly hyperbolic surface diffeomorphisms, we introduce homoclinic classes of measures, and we study their properties using codings by irreducible countable… Show more

“…Moreover, if the diffeomorphism is transitive 5 then there is only one m.m.e. (see [BCS18]). Since for a generic large parameter the standard map has elliptic islands (see [Du94]), it is not transitive for these parameters.…”

“…The study of existence and finiteness of ergodic measures of maximal entropy has a long history, which we will not try to state here. We refer the reader to Section 1.9 in [BCS18] for many references on the history of this problem.…”

“…To see this, we need to review the steps in the proof of [4, Theorem B'], which is a combination of [4, Theorem B] and Katok's approximation theorem [32] and its extensions in [4,Theorem. 3.3] and [22,Theorem 2.12].…”

“…If moreover the system is topologically mixing, then the SRB measure when it exists is Bernoulli [16]. By the spectral decomposition of C ∞ surface diffeomorphisms [16] there are at most finitely many ergodic SRB measures with entropy and thus maximal exponent larger than a given positive constant. Therefore, in the Main Theorem, the set Λ = {χ(µ i ), i ∈ I} is either finite or a sequence decreasing to zero.…”
