Abstract

Let (X, T) be a topological dynamical system and let $\mu$ be a T-invariant probability measure on X. In this paper, we study two properties of the notions of measure theoretical entropy for a measurable cover $\mathcal{U},\ h_\mu^+(\mathcal{U},T)$ and $h_\mu^-(\mathcal{U},T)$ introduced by P. P. Romagnoli (Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys. 23 (2003), 1601–1610). The main result of the paper states that entropy pairs for the measure $\mu$ can be defined using either $h_\mu^+$ or $h_\mu^-$. We also prove that both $h_\mu^+$ and $h_\mu^-$ have an ergodic decomposition and we use it to prove a local Abramov formula for $h_\mu^-$.
