Properties of equilibrium states for geodesic flows over manifolds without focal points

Dynamical Systems 2020-04-22 v1

Abstract

We prove that for closed rank 1 manifolds without focal points the equilibrium states are unique for H\"older potentials satisfying the pressure gap condition. In addition, we provide a criterion for a continuous potential to satisfy the pressure gap condition. Moreover, we derive several ergodic properties of the unique equilibrium states including the equidistribution and the K-property.
