The irregular set for maps with almost weak specification property has full metric mean dimension

Abstract

Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space, $f: X \to X$ be a continuous transformation with the almost weak specification property and $\varphi: X \to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function. We consider the set (called the irregular set for $\varphi$) of points for which the Birkhoff average of $\varphi$ does not exist and show that this set is either empty or carries full Bowen upper and lower metric mean dimension.
