Measures of intermediate entropies for star vector fields

Abstract

We prove that all star vector fields, including Lorenz attractors and multisingular hyperbolic vector fields, admit the intermediate entropy property. To be precise, if $X$ is a star vector field with $h_{top}(X)>0$, then for any $h\in [0,h_{top}(X))$, there exists an ergodic invariant measure $\mu$ of $X$ such that $h_{\mu}(X)=h$. Moreover, we show that the topological entropy is lower semi-continuous for star vector fields.
