Let $G$ be a countable discrete sofic group. We define a concept of uniform mixing for measure-preserving $G$-actions and show that it implies completely positive sofic entropy. When $G$ contains an element of infinite order, we use this to…

We introduce the notion of localized topological pressure for continuous maps on compact metric spaces. The localized pressure of a continuous potential $\varphi$ is computed by considering only those $(n,\epsilon)$-separated sets whose…

In the paper we represent two examples which are based on the properties of discrete measures. In the first part of the paper we prove that for each probability measure $\mu$, $\operatorname{supp}{\mu}=[-1,1]$, which logarithmic potential…

Let $M$ be a compact metric space and $X = M^{\mathbb{N}}$, we consider a set of admissible sequences $X_{A, I} \subset X$ determined by a continuous admissibility function $A : M \times M \to \mathbb{R}$ and a compact set $I \subset…

We characterize the finiteness of Gibbs measures for geodesic flows on negatively curved manifolds by several criteria, analogous to those proposed by Sarig for symbolic dynamical systems over an infinite alphabet. As an application, we…

We study the structure of invariant measures for continuous automorphisms of compact metrizable abelian groups satisfying the descending chain condition. We show that the finitely supported invariant measures are weak-* dense in the space…

Given a finite-to-one map acting on a compact metric space, one classically constructs for each potential in an appropriate Banach space of functionsa transfer operator acting on functions. Under suitable condition, the…

We define and study a natural category of graph limits. The objects are pairs $(\pi,\mu)$, where $\pi$ (the distribution of vertices) is an abstract probability measure on some abstract measurable space $(X,\mathcal{A})$ and $\mu$ (the…

A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By Hahn-Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is…

We consider models of gradient type, which are the densities of a collection of real-valued random variables $\phi :=\{\phi_x: x \in \Lambda\}$ given by $Z^{-1}\exp({-\sum\nolimits_{j \sim k}V(\phi_j-\phi_k)})$. We focus our study on the…

For a class of $\zz^2$ Markov Random Fields (MRFs) $\mu$, we show that the sequence of successive differences of entropies of induced MRFs on strips of height $n$ converges exponentially fast (in $n$) to the entropy of $\mu$. These strip…

In a previous paper the authors developed a H^1-BMO theory for unbounded metric measure spaces $(M,\rho,m)$ of infinite measure that are locally doubling and satisfy two geometric properties, called "approximate midpoint" property and…

Let $M$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemanian manifold, End($M$) the set of the endomorphisms of $M$ with the usual $\mathcal{C}^0$ topology and $\phi: M\to\mathbb{R}$ continuous. We prove that there exists a dense subset of $\mathcal{A}$…

In this work we consider several aspects of the thermodynamic formalism in a randomized setting. Let $X$ be a non-trivial mixing shift of finite type, and let $f : X \to \mathbb{R}$ be a H\"older continuous potential with associated Gibbs…

In this research article, we discuss two topics. Firstly, we introduce SCC-Map and $\phi$-contraction type $T$-coupling. By using these two definitions, we generalize $\phi$-contraction type coupling given by H. Aydi et al. [3] to…

We show that for a potential with summable variations on an irreducible sofic shift in one dimension, the equilibrium measures are precisely the shift-invariant Gibbs measures. The main tool in the proof is a preservation of Gibbsianness…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with a bounded density $f$. We prove that the marginals of $f$ on most subspaces are well-bounded. For product measures, studied recently by Rudelson and Vershynin, our results show there…

We study some properties of $SU_n$ endowed with the Frobenius metric $\phi$, which is, up to a positive constant multiple, the unique bi-invariant Riemannian metric on $SU_n$. In particular we express the distance between $P, Q \in SU_n$ in…

There are a variety of results in the literature proving forms of computability for topological entropy and pressure on subshifts. In this work, we prove two quite general results, showing that topological pressure is always computable from…

For a continuous map $f$ on a compact metric space we study the geometry and entropy of the generalized rotation set $\R(\Phi)$. Here $\Phi=(\phi_1,...,\phi_m)$ is a $m$-dimensional continuous potential and $\R(\Phi)$ is the set of all…
