# A note on invariant measures

Abstract. The aim of the paper is to show that if $$\mathcal{F}$$ is a family of continuous transformations of a nonempty compact Hausdorff space $$\Omega$$, then there is no $$\mathcal{F}$$-invariant probabilistic Borel measures on $$\Omega$$ iff there are $$\varphi_1,\ldots,\varphi_p \in \mathcal{F}$$ (for some $$p \geq 2$$) and a continuous function $$u:\, \Omega^p \to \mathbb{R}$$ such that $$\sum_{\sigma \in S_p} u(x_{\sigma(1)},\ldots ,x_{\sigma(p)}) = 0$$ and $$\liminf_{n\to\infty} \frac1n \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} (u \circ \Phi^k)(x_1,\ldots,x_p) \geq 1$$ for each $$x_1,\ldots,x_p \in \Omega$$, where $$\Phi:\, \Omega^p \ni (x_1,\ldots,x_p) \mapsto (\varphi_1(x_1),\ldots,\varphi_p(x_p)) \in \Omega^p$$ and $$\Phi^k$$ is the $$k$$-th iterate of $$\Phi$$. A modified version of this result in case the family $$\mathcal{F}$$ generates an equicontinuous semigroup is proved.
Keywords: invariant measures, equicontinuous semigroups, compact spaces.
