Distributional chaotic generalized shifts

Abstract
Suppose $X$ is a finite discrete space with at least two elements, $Γ$ is a nonempty countable set, and consider self--map $\varphi:Γ\toΓ$. We prove that the generalized shift $σ_\varphi:X^Γ\to X^Γ$ with $σ_\varphi((x_α)_{α\inΓ})=(x_{\varphi(α)})_{α\inΓ}$ (for $(x_α)_{α\inΓ}\in X^Γ$) is: $\bullet$ distributional chaotic (uniform, type 1, type 2) if and only if $\varphi:Γ\toΓ$ has at least a non-quasi-periodic point, $\bullet$ dense distributional chaotic if and only if $\varphi:Γ\toΓ$ does not have any periodic point, $\bullet$ transitive distributional chaotic if and only if $\varphi:Γ\toΓ$ is one--to--one without any periodic point. We complete the text by counterexamples.
