The Analyticity of a Generalized Ruelle's Operator
In this work we propose a generalization of the concept of Ruelle operator
for one dimensional lattices used in thermodynamic formalism and ergodic
optimization, which we call generalized Ruelle operator, that generalizes both
the Ruelle operator proposed in [BCLMS] and the Perron Frobenius operator
defined in [Bowen]. We suppose the alphabet is given by a compact metric space,
and consider a general a-priori measure to define the operator. We also
consider the case where the set of symbols that can follow a given symbol of
the alphabet depends on such symbol, which is an extension of the original
concept of transition matrices from the theory of subshifts of finite type. We
prove the analyticity of the Ruelle operator and present some examples
Fast-slow partially hyperbolic systems versus Freidlin-Wentzell random systems
We consider a simple class of fast-slow partially hyperbolic dynamical
systems and show that the (properly rescaled) behaviour of the slow variable is
very close to a Friedlin--Wentzell type random system for times that are rather
long, but much shorter than the metastability scale. Also, we show the
possibility of a "sink" with all the Lyapunov exponents positive, a phenomenon
that turns out to be related to the lack of absolutely continuity of the
central foliation.Comment: To appear in Journal of Statistical Physic
