Given a finite measurable partition of an interval, the itinerary of $x$ records which partition element contains each iterate $T^n(x)$. Prescribing a finite initial word defines an itinerary cylinder. For the full tent map, every length-$N$ binary cylinder has Lebesgue measure $2^{-N}$ up to endpoint conventions, so its itinerary process is a fair i.i.d. Bernoulli process.

Yes. Let $A$ be $T$-invariant. Since the itinerary variables generate $\mathcal{A}$ modulo null sets, $A$ can be regarded as an event in the canonical sequence model. For every $N$, invariance and $X_n\circ T=X_{n+1}$ implyThus $A$ belongs to the tail sigma-algebra of the i.i.d. sequence $(X_n)$. By the Kolmogorov zero-one law, $m(A)$ is zero or one. Hence the tent map is an ergodic measure-preserving transformation.

For a Borel set $A\subseteq [0,1]$, the two inverse branches of the tent map are $y\mapsto y/2$ and $y\mapsto 1-y/2$. Apart from their immaterial common endpoint,Each branch scales Lebesgue measure by $1/2$, and their images lie in opposite half-intervals. HenceAlso $m([0,1])=1$, so $m$ is an invariant probability measure.

For $0<\mu <1$, all orbits converge to one fixed point, and for $\mu =1$ every orbit is eventually fixed or period two, so no iterate has a horseshoe. For the symmetric tent map with slope magnitude $\mu >1$, the topological entropy is $\log \mu >0$. The interval-map positive-entropy horseshoe theorem says that a continuous interval map has positive topological entropy exactly when some iterate has a horseshoe. HenceFor $\mu \ge \sqrt{2}$ this already follows from part (iii); for $1<\mu <\sqrt{2}$, a higher iterate supplies the horseshoe.
