Abstract

In this work we discuss a few ways to create chaotic families that are not entropically chaotic on Kac’s Sphere. We present two types of examples: limiting convex combinations of an entropically chaotic family with a particularly ‘bad’ non-entropic family, and two explicitly computable families that vary rapidly with $N$, causing loss of support on the sphere or high entropic tails.
