We study a class of potentials $f$ on one sided full shift spaces over finite or countable alphabets, called potentials of product type. We obtain explicit formulae for the leading eigenvalue, the eigenfunction (which may be discontinuous)…
The main aim of this paper is to study the functional inequality \begin{equation*} \int_{[0,1]}f\bigl((1-t)x+ty\bigr)d\mu(t)\geq 0, \qquad x,y\in I \mbox{ with } x<y, \end{equation*} for a continuous unknown function $f:I\to{\mathbb R}$,…
In this work we study the Ruelle Operator associated to a continuous potential defined on a countable product of a compact metric space. We prove a generalization of Bowen's criterion for the uniqueness of the eigenmeasures. One of the main…
We consider the classical dynamics given by a one sided shift on the Bernoulli space of $d$ symbols. We study, on the space of H\"older functions, the eigendistributions of the Ruelle operator with a given potential. Our main theorem shows…
Let (L,\preccurlyeq) be a finite distributive lattice, and suppose that the functions f_1,f_2:L\to R are monotone increasing with respect to the partial order \preccurlyeq. Given \mu a probability measure on L, denote by E(f_i) the average…
We will denote by $\mathcal{M}$ the space of Borel probabilities on the symbolic space $\Omega=\{1,2...,m\}^\mathbb{N}$. $\mathcal{M}$ is equipped Monge-Kantorovich metric. We consider here the push-forward map $\mathfrak{T}:\mathcal{M} \to…
Let $L$ be a finite distributive lattice and $\mu : L \to {\mathbb R}^{+}$ a log-supermodular function. For functions $k: L \to {\mathbb R}^{+}$ let $$E_{\mu} (k; q) \defeq \sum_{x\in L} k(x) \mu (x) q^{{\mathrm rank}(x)} \in {\mathbb…
In this paper, we describe several different meanings for the concept of Gibbs measure on the lattice $\mathbb{N}$ in the context of finite alphabets (or state space). We compare and analyze these "in principle" distinct notions: DLR-Gibbs…
In this paper we study the double transpose of the $L^1(X,\mathscr{B}(X),\nu)$-extensions of the Ruelle transfer operator $\mathscr{L}_{f}$ associated to a general real continuous potential $f\in C(X)$, where $X=E^{\mathbb{N}}$, the…
Most correlation inequalities for high-dimensional functions in the literature, such as the Fortuin-Kasteleyn-Ginibre (FKG) inequality and the celebrated Gaussian Correlation Inequality of Royen, are qualitative statements which establish…
We show the existence of invariant ergodic $\sigma$-additive probability measures with full support on $X$ for a class of linear operators $L: X \to X$, where $L$ is a weighted shift operator and $X$ either is the Banach space…
We prove comparison principles for nonlinear potential theories in euclidian spaces in a very straightforward manner from duality and monotonicity. We shall also show how to deduce comparison principles for nonlinear differential operators,…
For arbitrarily small values of $\varepsilon>0,$ we formulate and analyse the Maxwell system of equations of electromagnetism on $\varepsilon$-periodic sets $S^\varepsilon\subset{\mathbb R}^3.$ Assuming that a family of Borel measures…
We prove uniqueness of self-similar profiles for the one-dimensional inelastic Boltzmann equation with moderately hard potentials, that is with collision kernel of the form | $\bullet$ | $\gamma$ for $\gamma$ > 0 small enough (explicitly…
Recently the Ruelle-Perron-Fr\"obenius theorem was proved for H\"older potentials defined on the symbolic space $\Omega=M^{\mathbb{N}}$, where (the alphabet) $M$ is any compact metric space. In this paper, we extend this theorem to the…
We study coarea inequalities for metric surfaces -- metric spaces that are topological surfaces, without boundary, and which have locally finite Hausdorff 2-measure $\mathcal{H}^2$. For monotone Sobolev functions $u\colon X \to \mathbb{R}…
The Fortuin-Kasteleyn-Ginibre (FKG) inequality is an invaluable tool in monotone spin systems satisfying the FKG lattice condition, which provides positive correlations for all coordinate-wise increasing functions of spins. This inequality…
The purpose of the present paper is to place a number of geometric (and hands-on) configurations relating to spectrum and geometry inside a general framework for the {\it Fuglede conjecture}. Note that in its general form, the Fuglede…
Quantum mechanics violates Leggett-Garg inequalities because the operator formalism predicts correlations between different spin components that would correspond to negative joint probabilities for the outcomes of joint measurements.…
