Abstract

Let (ΣT,σ)(\Sigma_T,\sigma) be a subshift of finite type with primitive adjacency matrix TT, ψ:ΣTR\psi:\Sigma_T \rightarrow \mathbb{R} a H\"older continuous potential, and A:ΣTGLd(R)\mathcal{A}:\Sigma_T \rightarrow \mathrm{GL}_d(\mathbb{R}) a 1-typical, one-step cocycle. For tRt \in \mathbb{R} consider the sequences of potentials Φt=(φt,n)nN\Phi_t=(\varphi_{t,n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}} defined by φt,n(x):=Snψ(x)+tlogAn(x),nN.\varphi_{t,n}(x):=S_n \psi(x) + t\log \|\mathcal{A}^n(x)\|, \: \forall n \in \mathbb{N}. Using the family of transfer operators defined in this setting by Park and Piraino, for all t<0t<0 sufficiently close to 0 we prove the existence of Gibbs-type measures for the superadditive sequences of potentials Φt\Phi_t. This extends the results of the well-understood subadditive case where t0t \geq 0. Prior to this, Gibbs-type measures were only known to exist for t<0t<0 in the conformal, the reducible, the positive, or the dominated, planar settings, in which case they are Gibbs measures in the classical sense. We further prove that the topological pressure function tPtop(Φt,σ)t \mapsto P_{\mathrm{top}}(\Phi_t,\sigma) is analytic in an open neighbourhood of 0 and has derivative given by the Lyapunov exponents of these Gibbs-type measures.
