In this paper we solve two open problems in ergodic theory. We prove first that if a Doeblin function $g$ (a $g$-function) satisfies \[\limsup_{n\to\infty}\frac{\mbox{var}_n \log g}{n^{-1/2}} < 2,\] then we have a unique Doeblin measure…
We prove that g-functions whose set of discontinuity points has strictly negative topological pressure and which satisfy an assumption that is weaker than non-nullness, have at least one stationary g-measure. We also obtain uniqueness by…
We give an equivalent condition for the existence of invariant Gibbs measures for sequences of continuous functions on one-sided subshifts and, more generally, for the existence of Gibbs measures. These extend the results of Kim [6] and…
Regular $g$-measures are discrete-time processes determined by conditional expectations with respect to the past. One-dimensional Gibbs measures, on the other hand, are fields determined by simultaneous conditioning on past and future. For…
In this article we deal with different forms of the unique continuation property for second order elliptic equations with nonlinear potentials of sublinear growth. Under suitable regularity assumptions, we prove the weak and the strong…
We state a construction theorem for specifications starting from single-site conditional probabilities (singleton part). We consider general single-site spaces and kernels that are absolutely continuous with respect to a chosen product…
The consrtuction of self-similar fuctions in $L_2[0,1]$ is described. Some properties of such funtions (boundness of variation, continuity etc.) is obtained.
A sufficient condition for the Gibbs states of a shift-invariant specification on a one-dimensional lattice to be the $g$-chains for some continuous function $g$ is obtained. This is then used to derive criteria under which there is a…
Shift spaces with the specification property are intrinsically ergodic, i.e. they have a unique measure of maximal entropy. This can fail for shifts with the weaker almost specification property. We define a new property called one-sided…
Non-homogeneous self-similar measures are generically absolute continuous in the domain of parameters for which the similarity dimension is larger than one, see \cite{[SSS]}. Using certain algebraic curves we construct here exceptional…
The multifractal formalism for measures hold whenever the existence of corresponding Gibbs-like measures supported on the singularities sets holds. In the present work we tried to relax such a hypothesis and introduce a more general…
In [2], Bowen showed that for an expansive system (X, T) with specification and a potential with the Bowen property, the equilibrium state is unique and fully supported. We generalize that result by showing that the same conclusion holds…
We establish bounds for the measure of deviation sets associated to continuous observables with respect to not necessarily invariant weak Gibbs measures. Under some mild assumptions, we obtain upper and lower bounds for the measure of…
Let $1<p\not=2<\infty$, $\epsilon>0$ and let $T:\ell_p(\ell_2)\overset{into}{\rightarrow}L_p[0,1]$ be an isomorphism. Then there is a subspace $Y\subset \ell_p(\ell_2)$ $(1+\epsilon)$-isomorphic to $\ell_p(\ell_2)$ such that: $T_{|Y}$ is an…
In this paper we present a new approach to studying g-measures which is based upon local absolute continuity. We extend the result in [11] that square summability of variations of g-functions ensures uniqueness of g-measures. The first…
Bowen showed that a continuous expansive map with specification has a unique measure of maximal entropy. We show that the conclusion remains true under weaker non-uniform versions of these hypotheses. To this end, we introduce the notions…
In a statistical mechanics model with unbounded spins, we prove uniqueness of the Gibbs measure under various assumptions on finite volume functional inequalities. We follow the approach of G. Royer (1999) and obtain uniqueness by showing…
We extend the Gibbs conditioning principle to an abstract setting combining infinitely many linear equality constraints and non-linear inequality constraints, which need not be convex. A conditional large large deviation principle (LDP) is…
Since seminal work of Bowen, it has been known that the specification property implies various useful properties about a topological dynamical system, among them uniqueness of the measure of maximal entropy (often referred to as intrinsic…
We review results about $G_2$-structures in relation to the existence of special metrics, such as Einstein metrics and Ricci solitons, and the evolution under the Laplacian flow on non-compact homogeneous spaces. We also discuss some…
