For each real α,0≤α<1, we give examples of endomorphisms in dimension one with infinite topological entropy which are α‑Hölder; and for each real p,1≤p<∞, we also give examples of endomorphisms in dimension one with infinite topological entropy which are (1,p)-Sobolev. These examples are constructed within a family of endomorphisms with infinite topological entropy and which traverse all α-Hölder and (1,p)-Sobolev classes. Finally, we also give examples of endomorphisms, also in dimension one, which lie in the big and little Zygmund classes, answering a question of M. Benedicks.

For compact Riemannian manifolds all of whose geodesics are closed (aka Zoll manifolds) one can define the determinant of a zeroth order pseudodifferential operator by mimicking Szego’s definition of this determinant for the operator: multiplication by a bounded function, on the Hilbert space of square-integrable functions on the circle. In this paper we prove that the non-local contribution to this determinant can be computed in terms of a much simpler “zeta-regularized” determinant.
