Highly irregular orbits for subshifts of finite type: large intersections and emergence

Abstract

Abstract In their recent paper (2019 arXiv:1904.03424), the first author, Kiriki and Soma introduced a concept of pointwise emergence to measure the complexity of irregular orbits. They constructed a residual subset of the full shift with high pointwise emergence. In this paper we consider the set of points with high pointwise emergence for topologically mixing subshifts of finite type. We show that this set has full topological entropy, full Hausdorff dimension, and full topological pressure for any Hölder continuous potential. Furthermore, we show that this set belongs to a certain class of sets with large intersection property. This is a natural generalization of Färm and Persson (2011 Nonlinearity 24 1291–1309) to pointwise emergence and Carathéodory dimension.
