Central limit theorem and chaoticity

This paper studies the relations between stochastic properties and chaotic properties of a dynamical system satisfying the central limit theorem. For such a system, it is proved that every nonempty open set in its defining space contains a point with positive lower density of its return time set and that the system is syndetically sensitive, provided that it is strongly topologically ergodic. Moreover, it is shown that the system admits many chaotic properties if its domain is restricted to a tree. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
