Title: Local Entropy and Descriptive Complexity

Abstract: Blanchard introduced the concepts of Uniform Positive Entropy (UPE) and Complete Positive Entropy (CPE) as topological analogues of K-automorphism. He showed that UPE implies CPE, and that the converse is false. A flurry of recent activities study the relationship between these two notions. For example, one can assign a countable ordinal which measures how complicated a CPE system is. Recently, Barbieri and Gracia-Ramos constructed Cantor CPE system at every level of CPE. Westrick showed that natural rank associated to CPE systems is actually a $\Pi^1_1\)-rank. More importantly, she showed that the collection of CPE \(Z_2\) SFT's is a \(\Pi^1_1\)-complete set. In this talk, we discuss some results, where UPE and CPE coincide and others where we show that the complexity of certain classes of CPE systems is \(\Pi^1_1\)-complete. This is joint work with Garica-Ramos.
