Abstract
We consider various notions from the theory of dynamical systems from a topological point of view.
Many of these notions can be sensibly defined either in terms of (finite) open covers or uniformities. These Hausdorff or uniform versions coincide in compact Hausdorff spaces and are equivalent to the standard definition stated in terms of a metric in compact metric spaces.
We show for example that in a Tychonoff space, transitivity and dense periodic points
imply (uniform) sensitivity to initial conditions. We generalise Bryant's result that
a compact Hausdorff space admitting a $c$-expansive homeomorphism in the obvious uniform sense is metrizable.
We study versions of shadowing, generalising a number of well-known results to the topological setting, and internal chain transitivity, showing for example that $\omega$-limit sets are (uniform) internally chain transitive and
weak incompressibility is equivalent to (uniform) internal chain transitivity in compact spaces.
