Consider a rational map $f$ of degree at least 2 acting on its Julia set $J(f)$, a H\"older continuous potential $\phi: J(f)\rightarrow \R$ and the pressure $P(f,\phi). In the case where $\sup_{J(f)}\phi<P(f,phi)$, the uniqueness and…

It is well-known that for expansive maps and continuous potential functions, the specification property (for the map) and the Bowen property (for the potential) together imply the existence of a unique equilibrium state. We consider…

A classical result in thermodynamic formalism is that for uniformly hyperbolic systems, every H\"older continuous potential has a unique equilibrium state. One proof of this fact is due to Rufus Bowen and uses the fact that such systems…

We consider a wide family of non-uniformly expanding maps and hyperbolic H\"older continuous potentials. We prove that the unique equilibrium state associated to each element of this family is given by the eigenfunction of the transfer…

For a rational map $f$ and a H\"older continuous potential $\phi$ satisfying $$ \sup\phi< P(f,\phi)$$ the uniqueness and stochastic properties of the corresponding equilibrium states have been extensively studied. For a given rational map…

We consider the dynamics of skew product maps associated with finitely generated semigroups of rational maps on the Riemann sphere. We show that under some conditions on the dynamics and the potential function \psi, there exists a unique…

We analyze a real one-parameter family of quasiconformal deformations of a hyperbolic rational map known as {\em spinning}. We show that under fairly general hypotheses, the limit of spinning either exists and is unique, or else converges…

We consider the uniqueness of equilibrium states for dynamical systems that satisfy certain weak, non-uniform versions of specification, expansivity, and the Bowen property at a fixed scale. Following Climenhaga-Thompson's approach which…

We study skew-product dynamics for a large class of finitely-generated semi--hyperbolic semigroups of rational maps acting on the Riemann sphere, which generalizes both the theory of iteration of a single rational map of a single complex…

We study the thermodynamic formalism of sufficiently regular interval maps for Holder continuous potentials. We show that for a hyperbolic potential there is a unique equilibrium state, and that this measure is exponentially mixing.…

Using an approach due to Bowen, Franco showed that continuous expansive flows with specification have unique equilibrium states for potentials with the Bowen property. We show that this conclusion remains true using weaker non-uniform…

There is a wealth of results in the literature on the thermodynamic formalism for potentials that are, in some sense, "hyperbolic". We show that for a sufficiently regular one-dimensional map satisfying a weak hyperbolicity assumption,…

We consider systems of parabolic linear equations, subject to Neumann boundary conditions on bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$, that are coupled by a matrix-valued potential $V$, and investigate under which conditions each solution to such…

In a context of non-uniformly expanding maps, possibly with the presence of a critical set, we prove the existence of finitely many ergodic equilibrium states for hyperbolic potentials. Moreover, the equilibrium states are expanding…

There are several known constructions of equilibrium states for H\"older continuous potentials in the context of both subshifts of finite type and uniformly hyperbolic systems. In this article we present another method of building such…

We examine uniqueness of equilibrium states for the natural extension of a topologically exact, non-uniformly expanding, local homeomorphism with a H\"older continuous potential function. We do this by applying general techniques developed…

We develop a new method, based on pluripotential theory, to study the transfer (Perron-Frobenius) operator induced on $\mathbb P^k = \mathbb P^k (\mathbb C)$ by a holomorphic endomorphism and a suitable continuous weight. This method allows…

In this work, we construct Markov structures for zooming systems adapted to holes of a special type. Our construction is based on backward contractions provided by zooming times. These Markov structures may be used to code the open zooming…

In this work, based on Pinheiro for deterministic systems, we extend the notion of zooming systems to the random context and based on the technique of Arbieto-Matheus-Oliveira we prove the existence of equilibrium states for which we call…

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…
