Period spectrum and rigidity of interval maps
Abstract
We study the extent to which periodic orbits determine a one-dimensional dynamical system. In particular, we show that they determine every topologically mixing interval map. More generally, for a non-mixing interval map f with dense periodic points, the periodic orbits need not determine f, but they always do so for f2. Finally, for maps on compact intervals, we obtain a local version of this rigidity: for each basic set B arising in the spectral decomposition of an interval map f, there exists an iterate fq whose restriction to B is determined by the periodic orbits of f.

AB - We study the extent to which periodic orbits determine a one-dimensional dynamical system. In particular, we show that they determine every topologically mixing interval map. More generally, for a non-mixing interval map f with dense periodic points, the periodic orbits need not determine f, but they always do so for f^2. Finally, for maps on compact intervals, we obtain a local version of this rigidity: for each basic set B arising in the spectral decomposition of an interval map f, there exists an iterate f^q whose restriction to B is determined by the periodic orbits of f.
