Uniqueness of the measure of maximal entropy for the squarefree flow
Abstract
The squarefree flow is a natural dynamical system whose topological and ergodic properties are closely linked to the behavior of squarefree numbers. We prove that the squarefree flow carries a unique measure of maximal entropy and express this measure explicitly in terms of a skew-product of a Kronecker and a Bernoulli system. Using this characterization and a number-theoretic argument, we then show that the unique maximum entropy measure fails to possess the Gibbs property.
