Abstract

We extend constructions of Hahn and Katznelson [On the entropy of uniquely ergodic transformations. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.126 (1967), 335–360] and Pavlov [Some counterexamples in topological dynamics. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.28 (2008), 1291–1322] to ℤd-actions on symbolic dynamical spaces with prescribed topological and ergodic properties. More specifically, we describe a method to build ℤd-actions which are (totally) minimal, (totally) strictly ergodic and have positive topological entropy.
