Abstract:
We prove that for a class of $\mathbb Z^d$ shifts of finite type, $d>1$, any invariant measure which is not a measure of maximal entropy can be perturbed a small amount in the weak* topology to an invariant measure of higher entropy. Namely, there are no invariant measures which are strictly local maxima for the entropy function.References
