Continuum-wise hyperbolicity, periodic shadowing, and measures of maximal entropy

Abstract

We prove that cw-hyperbolic homeomorphisms with jointly continuous stable/unstable holonomies satisfy the periodic shadowing property and, if they are topologically mixing, the periodic specification property. We discuss difficulties to adapt Bowen's techniques to obtain a measure of maximal entropy for cw-hyperbolic homeomorphisms, exhibit the unique measure of maximal entropy for Walter's pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism of ${\mathbb{S}}^2$, and prove it can be obtained, as in the expansive case, as the weak* limit of an average of Dirac measures on periodic orbits. As an application, we exhibit the unique measure of maximal entropy for the homeomorphism on the Sierpiński Carpet defined in [12], which does not satisfy the specification property.
