Sturmian maximizing measures as extremal barycentres
For integers , let be the multi-valued dynamical system on appearing in the paper, and let a Sturmian measure mean a probability measure whose support is contained in some -circle. Sturmian maximizing-measures conjecture. The set of barycentres of probability measures on invariant under has the property that a measure has barycentre on the boundary if and only if it is Sturmian. This predicts that the extremal barycentres are exactly those arising from measures supported in a -circle; the supplied excerpt gives no resolution status.
