Complete spectral data for analytic Anosov maps of the torus

Using analytic properties of Blaschke factors we construct a family of analytic hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of the torus for which the spectral properties of the associated transfer operator acting on a suitable Hilbert space can be computed explicitly. As a result, we obtain explicit expressions for the decay of correlations of analytic observables without resorting to any kind of perturbation argument.Comment: 19 pages, 4 figure

The resonance spectrum of the cusp map in the space of analytic functions

We prove that the Frobenius--Perron operator $U$ of the cusp map $F:[-1,1]\to[-1,1]$, $F(x)=1-2\sqrt{|x|}$ (which is an approximation of the Poincar\'e section of the Lorenz attractor) has no analytic eigenfunctions corresponding to eigenvalues different from 0 and 1. We also prove that for any $q\in(0,1)$ the spectrum of $U$ in the Hardy space in the disk \{z\in\C:|z-q|<1+q\} is the union of the segment $[0,1]$ and some finite or countably infinite set of isolated eigenvalues of finite multiplicity.Comment: Submitted to JMP; The description of the spectrum in some Hardy spaces is adde
