We introduce the mathematical concept of multifractality and describe various multifractal spectra for dynamical systems, including spectra for dimensions and spectra for entropies. We support the study by providing some physical motivation and describing several nontrivial examples. Among them are subshifts of finite type and one-dimensional Markov maps. An essential part of the article is devoted to the concept of multifractal rigidity. In particular, we use the multifractal spectra to obtain a “physical’’ classification of dynamical systems. For a class of Markov maps, we show that, if the multifractal spectra for dimensions of two maps coincide, then the maps are differentiably equivalent.
