We prove an a priori lower bound for the pressure, or $p$-norm joint spectral radius, of a measure on the set of $d \times d$ real matrices which parallels a result of J. Bochi for the joint spectral radius. We apply this lower bound to…

Let $A(x): =(A_{i, j}(x))$ be a continuous function defined on some subshift of $\Omega:= \{0,1, \cdots, m-1\}^\mathbb{N}$, taking $d\times d$ non-negative matrices as values and let $\nu$ be an ergodic $\sigma$-invariant measure on the…

Assume that $(X,f)$ is a dynamical system and $\phi:X \to [-\infty, \infty)$ is a potential such that the $f$-invariant measure $\mu_\phi$ equivalent to $\phi$-conformal measure is infinite, but that there is an inducing scheme $F = f^\tau$…

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…

Entropy production is the hallmark of nonequilibrium physics, quantifying irreversibility, dissipation, and the efficiency of energy transduction processes. Despite many efforts, its measurement at the nanoscale remains challenging. We…

We consider convexity and monotonicity properties for some functions related to the $q$-gamma function. As applications, we give a variety of inequalities for the $q$-gamma function, the $q$-digamma function $\psi_q(x)$, and the $q$-series.…

We consider suspension flows with continuous roof function over the full shift $\Sigma$ on a finite alphabet. For any positive entropy subshift of finite type $Y \subset \Sigma$, we explictly construct a roof function such that the…

This work introduces and investigates the function $J(G) = \frac{\text{Nil}(G)}{L(G)}$, where $\text{Nil}(G)$ denotes the number of nilpotent subgroups and $L(G)$ the total number of subgroups of a finite group $G$. The function $J(G)$,…

We prove that if $\Sigma_{\mathbf A}(\mathbb N)$ is an irreducible Markov shift space over $\mathbb N$ and $f:\Sigma_{\mathbf A}(\mathbb N) \rightarrow \mathbb R$ is coercive with bounded variation then there exists a maximizing probability…

We prove inequalities on non-integer powers of products of generalized matrices functions on the sum of positive semi-definite matrices. For example, for any real number $r \in \{1\} \cup [2, \infty)$, positive semi-definite matrices $A_i,\…

To prove that a measure, linearly representable by means of a finite set of nonnegative matrices $\mathcal M$, has the weak-Gibbs property, one check the uniform convergence (on $\mathcal M^\mathbb N$) of the sequence of vectors…

We study the thermodynamic formalism for particular types of sub-additive sequences on a class of subshifts over countable alphabets. The subshifts we consider include factors of irreducible countable Markov shifts under certain conditions.…

Regularity properties of the pressure are related to phase transitions. In this article we study thermodynamic formalism for systems defined in non-compact phase spaces, our main focus being countable Markov shifts. We produce metric…

Given a Gibbs point process $\P^{\Psi}$ on $\R^d$ having a weak enough potential $\Psi$, we consider the random measures $\mu_\la := \sum_{x \in \P^{\Psi} \cap Q_\la} \xi(x, \P^{\Psi} \cap Q_\la) \delta_{x/\la^{1/d}}$, where $Q_{\la} :=…

The simple product formulae for derivatives of scalar functions raised to different powers are generalized for functions which take values in the set of symmetric positive definite matrices. These formulae are fundamental in derivation of…

Let $(X,T)$ and $(Y,S)$ be two subshifts so that $Y$ is a factor of $X$. For any asymptotically sub-additive potential $\Phi$ on $X$ and $\ba=(a,b)\in\R^2$ with $a>0$, $b\geq 0$, we introduce the notions of $\ba$-weighted topological…

A class is studied of complex valued functions defined on the unit disk (with a possible exception of a discrete set) with the property that all their Pick matrices have not more than a prescribed number of negative eigenvalues. Functions…
