Recently, A. Morimoto [5] proved that every isometry of a compact Riemannian manifold of positive dimension has not the pseudo-orbit tracing property, and that if a homeomorphism of a compact metric space has the pseudo-orbit tracing property then Eφ— 0φ(see § 1 for definition). The purpose of this paper is to show that every distal homeomorphism of a compact connected metric space has not the pseudo-orbit tracing property.

Special Metrics

Let (Y, g) be a compact connected n-dimensional Riemannian manifold and let () be its universal cover endowed with the pulled-back metric. If y ∈ , we definewhere B(y, R) denotes the ball of radius R around y in . It is a well known fact that this limit exists and does not depend on y ([Man]). The invariant h(g) is called the volume entropy of the metric g but, for the sake of simplicity, we shall use the term entropy. The idea of recognizing special metrics in terms of this invariant looks at first glance very optimistic. First the entropy, which behaves like the inverse of a distance, is sensitive to changes of scale which makes it a bad invariant: however, this is a minor drawback that can be circumvented by looking at the behaviour of the entropy functional on the space of metrics with fixed volume (equal to one for example). Nevertheless, it seems very unlikely that two numbers, the entropy and the volume, might characterize any metric. The very first person to consider such a possibility was Katok ([Kat1]). In this article the entropy is thought of as a dynamical invariant which actually is suggested by its name. More precisely, let us define this dynamical invariant, which is called the topological entropy: let (M, d) be a compact metric space and ψt, a flow on it, we define.

Isometric Embeddings

Abstract In [12] Petrunin proves that a compact metric space X admits an intrinsic isometry into En if and only if X is a pro-Euclidean space of rank at most n, meaning that X can be written as a “nice” inverse limit of polyhedra. He also shows that either case implies that X has covering dimension at most n. The purpose of this paper is to extend these results to include both embeddings and spaces which are proper instead of compact. The main result of this paper is that any pro-Euclidean space of rank at most n is proper and admits an intrinsic isometric embedding into E2n+1. Since every n-dimensional Riemannian manifold is a pro-Euclidean space of rank at most n, this result is a partial generalization of (the C0 version of) the famous Nash isometric embedding theorem from [10].

Abstract A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By the Hahn–Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is the supremum of a non-empty collection of measures whose masses are uniformly bounded from above. There are many natural examples of continuous maps of the form $f:U\rightarrow X$ , where X is a compact metric space and $U\subset X$ is an open-dense subset, where f cannot extend to a reasonable function on X. We can mention cases such as transcendental maps of $\mathbb {C}$ , meromorphic maps on compact complex varieties, or continuous self-maps $f:U\rightarrow U$ of a dense open subset $U\subset X$ where X is a compact metric space. For the aforementioned mentioned the use of measures is not sufficient to establish the basic properties of ergodic theory, such as the existence of invariant measures or a reasonable definition of measure-theoretic entropy and topological entropy. In this paper we show that strong submeasures can be used to completely resolve the issue and establish these basic properties. In another paper we apply strong submeasures to the intersection of positive closed $(1,1)$ currents on compact Kähler manifolds.

Abstract We consider a locally path-connected compact metric space K with finite first Betti number $\textrm {b}_1(K)$ and a flow $(K, G)$ on K such that G is abelian and all G-invariant functions $f\,{\in}\, \text{\rm C}(K)$ are constant. We prove that every equicontinuous factor of the flow $(K, G)$ is isomorphic to a flow on a compact abelian Lie group of dimension less than ${\textrm {b}_1(K)}/{\textrm {b}_0(K)}$ . For this purpose, we use and provide a new proof for Theorem 2.12 of Hauser and Jäger [Monotonicity of maximal equicontinuous factors and an application to toral flows. Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.147 (2019), 4539–4554], which states that for a flow on a locally connected compact space the quotient map onto the maximal equicontinuous factor is monotone, i.e., has connected fibers. Our alternative proof is a simple consequence of a new characterization of the monotonicity of a quotient map $p\colon K\to L$ between locally connected compact spaces K and L that we obtain by characterizing the local connectedness of K in terms of the Banach lattice $\textrm {C}(K)$ .

SynopsisClassically the tangent sphere bundles have formed a large class of contact manifolds; their contact structures are not in general regular, however. Specifically we prove that the natural contact structure on the tangent sphere bundle of a compact Riemannian manifold of non-positive constant curvature is not regular.

This paper describes some sufficient conditions that ensure the convergence of successive random applications of a family of mappings {Γα : α ∈ A} on a compact metric space (X, d) to a stochastic fixed point. The results are similar in spirit to a recent result of Yahav (1975).

AbstractLet (M, g(t)) be a compact Riemannian manifold and the metric g(t) evolve by the Ricci flow. In the paper, we prove that the eigenvalues of geometric operator −Δφ + $\frac{R}{2}$ are non-decreasing under the Ricci flow for manifold M with some curvature conditions, where Δφ is the Witten Laplacian operator, φ ∈ C2(M), and R is the scalar curvature with respect to the metric g(t). We also derive the evolution of eigenvalues under the normalized Ricci flow. As a consequence, we show that compact steady Ricci breather with these curvature conditions must be trivial.
