Flexibility of topological entropy and factor persistence in the C0-Gromov Hausdorff topology
Abstract
We prove that every surjective topological dynamical system on a compact metric space can be approximated in the C0-Gromov--Hausdorff topology by homeomorphisms with any prescribed topological entropy in [0,+∞], even when simultaneous approximation of its sets of invariant and ergodic measures is required. We also establish a rigidity result under uniform geometric bounds in a fixed dimension: for a homeomorphism of a closed, connected Riemannian manifold, topological stability in the sense of Gromov--Hausdorff guarantees its persistence as a factor of sufficiently close perturbations within the same geometric class. This persistence prevents topological entropy from decreasing and ensures that every invariant or ergodic measure of the original system admits a lift of the same type to the perturbed system.
