Renormalisation-induced phase transitions for unimodal maps

Dynamical Systems 2009-02-18 v2

Abstract

The thermodynamical formalism is studied for renormalisable maps of the interval and the natural potential tlogDf-t \log|Df|. Multiple and indeed infinitely many phase transitions at positive tt can occur for some quadratic maps. All unimodal quadratic maps with positive topological entropy exhibit a phase transition in the negative spectrum.
