Abstract:
There are various proofs that a transitive uniformly hyperbolic dynamical system has a unique measure of maximal entropy. I will outline a proof due to Bowen that uses the specification and expansivity properties, focusing on the example of shift spaces. If time permits, I will describe how Bowen's proof works for equilibrium states associated to nonzero potential functions.
