Directional bounded complexity, mean equicontinuity and discrete spectrum for $\mathbb{Z}^q$-actions

Given $q\in\mathbb{N}$, let $(X,T)$ be a $\mathbb{Z}^q$-system, $\vec{v}\in\mathbb{R}^q\setminus\{\vec{0}\}$ be a direction vector and $\textbf{b}\in\mathbb{R}_+^{q-1}$. We study $(X,T)$ that has bounded complexity with respect to three kinds of metrics defined along direction $\vec{v}$: the directional Bowen metric $d_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}$, the directional max-mean metric $\hat{d}_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}$ and the directional mean metric $\bar{d}_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}$. It is shown that $(X,T)$ has bounded topological complexity with respect to $\{d_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$ (resp. $\{\hat{d}_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$) if and only if $T$ is $(\vec{v},\textbf{b})$-equicontinuous (resp. $(\vec{v},\textbf{b})$-equicontinuous in the mean). Meanwhile, it turns out that an invariant Borel probability measure $μ$ on $X$ has bounded complexity with respect to $\{d_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$ if and only if $T$ is $(μ,\vec{v},\textbf{b})$-equicontinuous. Moreover, it is shown that $μ$ has bounded complexity with respect to $\{\bar{d}_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$ if and only if $μ$ has bounded complexity with respect to $\{\hat{d}_k^{\vec{v},\textbf{b}}\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$ if and only if $T$ is $(μ,\vec{v},\textbf{b})$-mean equicontinuous if and only if $T$ is $(μ,\vec{v},\textbf{b})$-equicontinuous in the mean if and only if $μ$ has $\vec{v}$-discrete spectrum.
