Ergodic measures of intermediate entropies for dynamical systems with the approximate product property

Abstract

For a dynamical system satisfying the approximate product property and asymptotically entropy expansiveness, we characterize a delicate structrue of the space of invariant measures: The ergodic measures of intermediate entropies and intermediate pressures are generic in certain subspaces. This proves a conjecture of Katok for a broad class of systems and extends a sequence of known results.
