Abstract:
A continuous transformation T of a compact metric space X satisfies the specification property if one can approximate distinct pieces of orbits by single periodic orbits with a certain uniformity. There are many examples of such transformations which have recently been studied in ergodic theory and statistical mechanics. This paper investigates the relation between Tinvariant measures and the frequencies of T-orbits. In particular, it is shown that every invariant measure (and even every closed connected subset of such measures) has generic points, but that the set of all generic points is of first category in X. This generalizes number theoretic results concerning decimal expansions and normal numbers.References
