Existence uniqueness and ratio decomposition for Gibbs states via duality

We give an elementary proof of existence and uniqueness of Gibbs states for Hölder weight systems on subshifts of finite type. This uses a notion of duality for such subshifts. The approach of Paterson [2] is used to construct a measure with a prescribed Jacobian and the duality is used to produce an invariant measure from this

Relativistic deuteron structure function at large Q^2

The deuteron deep inelastic unpolarized structure function F_2^D is calculated using the Wilson operator product expansion method. The long distance behaviour, related to the deuteron bound state properties, is evaluated using the Bethe-Salpeter equation with one particle on mass shell. The calculation of the ratio F_2^D/F_2^N is compared with other convolution models showing important deviations in the region of large x. The implications in the evaluation of the neutron structure function from combined data on deuterons and protons are discussed.Comment: 7 pages, 1 ps figure, RevTeX source, 1 tar.gz file.

Smoothness of holonomies for codimension 1 hyperbolic dynamics

Hyperbolic invariant sets {Lambda} of C1+{gamma} diffeomorphisms where either the stable or unstable leaves are 1-dimensional are considered in this paper. Under the assumption that the {Lambda} has local product structure, the authors prove that the holonomies between the 1-dimensional leaves are C1+{alpha} for some 0 < {alpha} < 1

Teichmüller spaces and HR structures for hyperbolic surface dynamics

We construct a Teichmüller space for the C^{1+}-conjugacy classes of hyperbolic dynamical systems on surfaces. After introducing the notion of an HR structure which associates an affine structure with each of the stable and unstable laminations, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between these HR structures and the C^{1+}-conjugacy classes. As part of the proof we construct a canonical representative dynamical system for each HR structure. This has the smoothest holonomies of any representative of the corresponding C^{1+}-conjugacy class. Finally, we introduce solenoid functions and show that they provide a good Teichmüller space
