Abstract

In this paper, we study a dynamical property of an exact endofunctor \(\Phi : {\mathcal {D}} \rightarrow {\mathcal {D}}\) of a triangulated category \({\mathcal {D}}\). In particular, we are interested in the following question: Given full triangulated subcategories \({\mathcal {A}},{\mathcal {B}} \subset {\mathcal {D}}\) such that \(\Phi ({\mathcal {A}}) \subset {\mathcal {A}}\) and \(\Phi ({\mathcal {B}}) \subset {\mathcal {B}}\), how the categorical entropies of \(\Phi |_{\mathcal {A}}\) and \(\Phi |_{\mathcal {B}}\) are related? To answer this question, we introduce new entropy-type invariants using bounded (co-)t-structures with finite (co-)hearts and prove their basic properties. We then apply these results to answer our question for the situation where \({\mathcal {A}}\) has a bounded t-structure and \({\mathcal {B}}\) has a bounded co-t-structure which are, in some sense, dual to each other.
