We present a detailed exposition (for a Dynamical System audience) of the content of the paper: R. Exel and A. Lopes, $C^*$ Algebras, approximately proper equivalence relations and Thermodynamic Formalism, {\it Erg. Theo. and Dyn. Syst.}, Vol 24, pp 1051-1082 (2004). We show only the uniqueness of the β-KMS (in a certain C*-Algebra obtained from the operators acting in $L^2$ of a Gibbs invariant probability $μ$) and its relation with the eigen-probability $ν_β$ for the dual of a certain Ruele operator. We consider an example for a case of Hofbauer type where there exist a Phase transition for the Gibbs state. There is no Phase transition for the KMS state.
We study ergodic properties of certain piecewise smooth two-dimensional systems by constructing countable Markov partitions. Using thermodynamic formalism we prove exponential decay of correleations.
We introduce a higher-dimensional version of the nonlinear thermodynamic formalism introduced by Buzzi and Leplaideur, in which a potential is replaced by a family of potentials. In particular, we establish a corresponding variational principle and we discuss the existence, characterization, and number of equilibrium measures for this higher-dimensional version.
This paper is devoted to study how do thermodynamic formalism quantities varies for time changes of suspension flows defined over countable Markov shifts. We prove that in general no quantity is preserved. We also make a topological description of the space of suspension flows according to certain thermodynamic quantities. For example, we show that the set of suspension flows defined over the full shift on a countable alphabet having finite entropy is open. Of independent interest might be a set of analytic tools we use to construct examples with prescribed thermodynamic behaviour.
We study hyperbolic attractors of some dynamical systems with apriori given countable Markov partitions. Assuming that contraction is stronger than expansion we construct new Markov rectangles such that their crossections by unstable manifolds are Cantor sets of positive Lebesgue measure. Using new Markov partitions we develop thermodynamical formalism and prove exponential decay of correlations and related properties for certain Hölder functions. The results are based on the methods developed by Sarig.
Skew product systems with monotone one-dimensional fibre maps driven by piecewise expanding Markov interval maps may show the phenomenon of intermingled basins. To quantify the degree of intermingledness the uncertainty exponent and the stability index were suggested by various authors and characterized (partially). Here we present an approach to evaluate/estimate these two quantities rigorously using thermodynamic formalism for the driving Markov map.
We study the thermodynamic formalism of locally compact Markov shifts with transient potential functions. In particular, we show that the Ruelle operator admits positive continuous eigenfunctions and positive Radon eigenmeasures in forms of Martin kernels. These eigenmeasures can be characterized in terms of the direction of escape to infinity of their orbits, when viewed inside a suitable Martin-like compactification of the underline shift space. We relate these results to first-order phase transitions in one-dimensional lattice gas models with infinite set of states. This work complements ea…
This text provides an overview of the (geometric) thermodynamic formalism for transcendental meromorphic and entire functions with particular emphasis on geometric/fractal aspects such as Bowen's Formula expressing the hyperbolic dimension as a unique zero of a pressure function and the behavior of the latter when the transcendental functions vary in an analytic family.
We study singular value potentials of Hölder continuous $GL_2(\mathbb{R})$-cocycles over hyperbolic systems whose canonical holonomies converge and are Hölder continuous. Such cocycles include locally constant $GL_2(\mathbb{R})$-cocycles as well as fiber-bunched $GL_2(\mathbb{R})$-cocycles. We show that singular value potentials of irreducible such cocycles have unique equilibrium states. Among the reducible cocycles, we provide a characterization for cocycles whose singular value potentials have more than one equilibrium states.
We study a one-parameter family of countably piecewise linear interval maps, which, although Markov, fail the `large image property'. This leads to conservative as well as dissipative behaviour for different maps in the family with respect to Lebesgue. We investigate the transition between these two types, and study the associated thermodynamic formalism, describing in detail the second order phase transitions (i.e. the pressure function is $C^1$ but not $C^2$ at the phase transition) that occur in transition to dissipativity. We also study the various natural definitions of pressure which ari…
For 2-d hyperbolic systems with singularities, statistical properties are rather difficult to establish because of the fragmentation of the phase space by singular curves. In this paper, we construct a Markov partition of the phase space with countable states for a general class of hyperbolic systems with singularities. Stochastic properties with respect to the SRB measure immediately follow from our construction of the Markov partition, including the decay rates of correlations and the central limit theorem. We further establish the thermodynamic formalism for the family of geometric potentia…
We develop a new thermodynamic formalism to investigate the transient behaviour of maps on the real line which are skew-periodic $\mathbb{Z}$-extensions of expanding interval maps. Our main focus lies in the dimensional analysis of the recurrent and transient sets as well as in determining the whole dimension spectrum with respect to $α$-escaping sets. Our results provide a one-dimensional model for the phenomenon of a dimension gap occurring for limit sets of Kleinian groups. In particular, we show that a dimension gap occurs if and only if we have non-zero drift and we are able to precisely …
We study $k$-bonacci substitutions. For each we define a renormalization operator associated to it and examine its iterates over potentials in a certain class. We also study the pressure function associated to potentials in this class and prove the existence of a freezing phase transition which is realized by the only ergodic measure on the subshift associated to the substitution.
We survey some results on non-uniform hyperbolicity, geometric pressure and equilibrium states in one-dimensional real and complex dynamics. We present some relations with Hausdorff dimension and measures with refined gauge functions of limit sets for geometric coding trees for rational functions on the Riemann sphere. We discuss fluctuations of iterated sums of the potential $-t\log |f'|$ and of radial growth of derivative of univalent functions on the unit disc and the boundaries of range domains preserved by a holomorphic map $f$ repelling towards the domains.
We provide the full theory of thermodynamic formalism for a very general collection of entire functions in class $\mathcal B$. This class overlaps with the collection of all entire functions for which thermodynamic formalism has been so far established and contains many new functions. The key point is that we introduce an integral means spectrum for logarithmic tracts which takes care of the fractal behavior of the boundary of the tract near infinity. It turns out that this spectrum behaves well as soon as the tracts have some sufficiently nice geometry which, for example, is the case for quas…
In topics such as the thermodynamic formalism of linear cocycles, the dimension theory of self-affine sets, and the theory of random matrix products, it has often been found useful to assume positivity of the matrix entries in order to simplify or make feasible certain types of calculation. It is natural to ask how positivity may be relaxed or generalised in a way which enables similar calculations to be made in more general contexts. On the one hand one may generalise by considering almost additive or asymptotically additive potentials which mimic the properties enjoyed by the logarithm of th…
This paper introduces a theory of Thermodynamic Formalism for Iterated Function Systems with Measures (IFSm). We study the spectral properties of the Transfer and Markov operators associated to a IFSm. We introduce variational formulations for the topological entropy of holonomic measures and the topological pressure of IFSm given by a potential. A definition of equilibrium state is then natural and we prove its existence for any continuous potential. We show, in this setting, a uniqueness result for the equilibrium state requiring only the Gâteaux differentiability of the pressure functional.
This paper introduces an intrinsic theory of Thermodynamic Formalism for Iterated Functions Systems with general positive continuous weights (IFSw).We study the spectral properties of the Transfer and Markov operators and one of our first results is the proof of the existence of at least one eigenprobability for the Markov operator associated to a positive eigenvalue. Sufficient conditions are provided for this eingenvalue to be the spectral radius of the transfer operator and we also prove in this general setting that positive eigenfunctions of the transfer operator are always associated to i…
We consider a class of dynamical systems, which we call weakly coarse expanding, which is a generalization to the postcritically infinite case of expanding Thurston maps as discussed by Bonk-Meyer and is closely related to coarse expanding conformal systems as defined by Haissinsky-Pilgrim. We prove existence and uniqueness of equilibrium states for a wide class of potentials, as well as statistical laws such as a central limit theorem, law of iterated logarithm, exponential decay of correlations and a large deviation principle. Further, if the system is defined on the 2-sphere, we prove all s…
Fibonacci unimodal maps can have a wild Cantor attractor, and hence be Lebesgue dissipative, depending on the order of the critical point. We present a one-parameter family $f_λ$ of countably piecewise linear unimodal Fibonacci maps in order to study the thermodynamic formalism of dynamics where dissipativity of Lebesgue (and conformal) measure is responsible for phase transitions. We show that for the potential $ϕ_t = -t\log|f'_λ|$, there is a unique phase transition at some $t_1 \le 1$, and the pressure $P(ϕ_t)$ is analytic (with unique equilibrium state) elsewhere. The pressure is majorised…
In this paper, we study the thermodynamic formalism of interval maps $f$ with sufficient regularity, for a sub class $\mathcal{U}$ composed of upper semi-continuous potentials which includes both Hölder and geometric potentials. We show that for a given $u\in \mathcal{U}$ and negative values of $t$, the pressure function $P(f,-tu)$ can be calculated in terms of the corresponding hidden pressure function $\widetilde{P}(f,-tu)$. Determination of the values $t\in(-\infty,0)$ at which $P(f,-tu)\neq \widetilde{P}(f,-tu)$ is also characterized explicitly. When restricting to the Hölder continuous po…
This paper studies properties of a Renormalization Operator for potentials in symbolic dynamics. These operators first appeared in \cite{BLL} and the link with substitutions was done in \cite{BL1}. Their fixed points are natural candidates to have pathologic behavior such as phase transitions. If $R$ is such an operator, we study the convergence of $R^{n}(φ)$ to the non-nul fixed point. We define the family of marked substitutions, which contains the Thue-Morse substitution, and show that the associated renormalization operators on potentials admits a unique non-nul continuous fixed point. The…
The aim of this study is tree-fold. First, we investigate the thermodynamics of the Ising models with respect to 2-multiple Hamiltonians. This extends the previous results of [Chazotte and Redig, Electron. J. Probably., 2014] to $\mathbb{N}^d$. Second, we establish the large deviation principle (LDP) of the average $\frac{1}{N} S_N^G$, where $S_N^G$ is a 2-multiple sum along a semigroup generated by k numbers which are k co-primes. This extends the previous results [Ban et al. Indag. Math., 2021] to a board class of the long-range interactions. Finally, the results described above are generali…

In this paper we study the ergodic theory and thermodynamic formalism of the geodesic flow on non-compact pinched negatively curved manifolds. We consider two notions of entropy at infinity, the topological and the measure theoretic entropy at infinity. We prove that both notions coincide and we relate this quantity with the upper semicontinuity of the entropy map. This relationship was already studied in [RV] for geometrically finite manifolds; in this paper we extend such results to arbitrary pinched negatively curved manifolds. We obtain several applications to the existence and stability o…
We consider small perturbations of a conformal iterated function system (CIFS) produced by either adding or removing some generators with small derivative from the original. We establish a formula, utilizing transfer operators arising from the thermodynamic formalism à la Sinai--Ruelle--Bowen, which may be solved to express the Hausdorff dimension of the perturbed limit set in series form: either exactly, or as an asymptotic expansion. Significant applications include strengthening Hensley's asymptotic formula from 1992, which improved on earlier bounds due to Jarník and Kurzweil, for the Haus…
We consider here a class of groupoids obtained via an equivalence relation (the subgroupoids of pair groupoids). We generalize to Haar Systems in these groupoids some results related to entropy and pressure which are well known in Thermodynamic Formalism. We introduce a transfer operator, where the equivalence relation (which defines the groupoid) plays the role of the dynamics and the corresponding transverse function plays the role of the {\it a priori} probability. We also introduce the concept of invariant transverse probability and of entropy for an invariant transverse probability, as we…
We develop a quenched thermodynamic formalism for random dynamical systems generated by countably branched, piecewise-monotone mappings of the interval that satisfy a random covering condition. Given a random contracting potential $φ$ (in the sense of Liverani-Saussol-Vaienti), we prove there exists a unique random conformal measure $ν_φ$ and unique random equilibrium state $μ_φ$. Further, we prove quasi-compactness of the associated transfer operator cocycle and exponential decay of correlations for $μ_φ$. Our random driving is generated by an invertible, ergodic, measure-preserving transform…
Statistical inference can be seen as information processing involving input information and output information that updates belief about some unknown parameters. We consider the Bayesian framework for making inferences about dynamical systems from ergodic observations, where the Bayesian procedure is based on the Gibbs posterior inference, a decision process generalization of standard Bayesian inference where the likelihood is replaced by the exponential of a loss function. In the case of direct observation and almost-additive loss functions, we prove an exponential convergence of the a poster…
