We study the ergodic properties of a class of measures on $\Sigma^{\mathbb{Z}}$ for which $\mu_{\mathcal{A},t}[x_{0}\cdots x_{n-1}]\approx e^{-nP}\left \|A_{x_{0}}\cdots A_{x_{n-1}}\right \| ^{t}$, where $\mathcal{A}=(A_{0}, \ldots ,…

We study the family of quadratic maps f_a(x) = 1 - ax^2 on the interval [-1,1] with a between 0 and 2. When small holes are introduced into the system, we prove the existence of an absolutely continuous conditionally invariant measure using…

We prove a random Ruelle--Perron--Frobenius theorem and the existence of relative equilibrium states for a class of random open and closed interval maps, without imposing transitivity requirements, such as mixing and covering conditions,…

A sequence of real numbers (x_n) is Benford if the significands, i.e. the fraction parts in the floating-point representation of (x_n) are distributed logarithmically. Similarly, a discrete-time irreducible and aperiodic finite-state Markov…

We establish quantitative results for the statistical be\-ha\-vi\-our of \emph{infinite systems}. We consider two kinds of infinite system: i) a conservative dynamical system $(f,X,\mu)$ preserving a $\sigma$-finite measure $\mu$ such that…

We study when Fourier transforms of Gibbs measures of sufficiently nonlinear expanding Markov maps decay at infinity at a polynomial rate. Assuming finite Lyapunov exponent, we reduce this to a nonlinearity assumption, which we verify for…

We study systems of globally coupled interval maps, where the identical individual maps have two expanding, fractional linear, onto branches, and where the coupling is introduced via a parameter - common to all individual maps - that…

The Stark effect in hydrogen and the cubic anharmonic oscillator furnish examples of quantum systems where the perturbation results in a certain ionization probability by tunneling processes. Accordingly, the perturbed ground-state energy…

We study equilibrium states of an infinite system of interacting particles in a Euclidean space. The particles bear `unbounded' spins with a given symmetric a priori distribution. The interaction between the particles is pairwise and splits…

We study Markov interval maps with random holes. The holes are not necessarily elements of the Markov partition. Under a suitable, and physically relevant, assumption on the noise, we show that the transfer operator associated with the…

We prove that the Markov operator associated to an iterated function system consisting of phi-max-contractions with probabilities has a unique invariant measure whose support is the attractor of the system.

We study irreducible time-homogenous Markov chains with finite state space in discrete time. We obtain results on the sensitivity of the stationary distribution and other statistical quantities with respect to perturbations of the…

Consider a statistical physical model on the $d$-regular infinite tree $T_{d}$ described by a set of interactions $\Phi$. Let $\{G_{n}\}$ be a sequence of finite graphs with vertex sets $V_n$ that locally converge to $T_{d}$. From $\Phi$…

We study the pointwise perturbations of countable Markov maps with infinitely many inverse branches and establish the following continuity theorem: Let $T_k$ and $T$ be expanding countable Markov maps such that the inverse branches of $T_k$…

We consider a countable system of interacting (possibly non-Markovian) stochastic differential equations driven by independent Brownian motions and indexed by the vertices of a locally finite graph $G = (V,E)$. The drift of the process at…

We study a model of spatial random permutations over a discrete set of points. Formally, a permutation $\sigma$ is sampled proportionally to the weight $\exp\{-\alpha \sum_x V(\sigma(x)-x)\},$ where $\alpha>0$ is the temperature and $V$ is…

In this paper, building on previous work, we extend the thermodynamic formalism for random open dynamical systems generated by piecewise monotone interval maps with countably many branches. Under summable and contracting assumptions on the…

Fractional Brownian motion is a Gaussian process x(t) with zero mean and two-time correlations <x(t)x(s)> ~ t^{2H} + s^{2H} - |t-s|^{2H}, where H, with 0<H<1 is called the Hurst exponent. For H = 1/2, x(t) is a Brownian motion, while for H…

We compute some dependence coefficients for the stationary Markov chain whose transition kernel is the Perron-Frobenius operator of an expanding map $T$ of $[0, 1]$ with a neutral fixed point. We use these coefficients to prove a central…

For a finitely irreducible countable Markov shift and a potential with summable variations, we provide a condition on the associated pressure function which ensures that Bowen's Gibbs state, the equilibrium state, and the minimizer of the…
