The defect of factor maps
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2001
Abstract
The defect of a factor map out of a totally disconnected dynamical system is a number in $[0,\infty]$ which gives a quantitative measure of how well the dynamical behaviour of the factor agrees with that of the extension. The larger the defect, the more they differ. In this paper we obtain the basic general properties of the defect and calculate it in a series of specific cases.
