In the same work, he introduced a notion of entropy-conjugacy for pairs of invertible compact systems: the systems (X,f) and (Y,g) are entropy-conjugate if there exist invariant Borel subsets X' of X and Y' of Y such that h_X(f,X\\setminus X') < h_X(f,X), h_Y(g,Y \\setminus Y') < h_Y(g,Y), and (X',f|_{X'}) is topologically conjugate to (Y',g|_{Y'}). Bowen conjectured that two mixing shifts of finite type are entropy-conjugate if they have the same entropy. We prove that two mixing shifts of finite type with equal entropy and left ideal class are entropy-conjugate. Consequently, in every entropy class Bowen's conjecture is true up to finite index.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-10-10T09:23:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bowens entropy-conjugacy conjecture", "finite index", "finite type", "entropy class bowens conjecture", "left ideal class" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1310.2740B" } } }
