Subcohomology for Zooming Maps

Abstract

In the context of zooming maps $f:M \to M$ on a compact metric space $M$, which include the non-uniformly expanding ones, possibly with the presence of a critical set, if the map is topologically exact, we prove that a potential $\phi : M \to \mathbb{R}$ for which the integrals $\int \phi d\mu \geq 0$ with respect to any $f$-invariant probability $\mu$, admits a coboundary $\lambda_{0}- \lambda_{0} \circ T$ such that $\phi \geq \lambda_{0}- \lambda_{0} \circ T$. This extends a result for $C^{1}$-expanding maps on the circle $\mathbb{T} = \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ to important classes of maps as uniformly expanding, local diffeomorphisms with non-uniform expansion, Viana maps, Benedicks-Carleson maps and Rovella maps. We also give an example beyond the exponential contractions context.Comment: This new version contains substantial changes, as a new proof for the main theorem. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2010.0814
