Differentiability of the pressure in non-compact spaces
Tom 259 / 2022
Streszczenie
Regularity properties of the pressure are related to phase transitions. In this article we study thermodynamic formalism for systems defined in non-compact phase spaces, our main focus being countable Markov shifts. We produce metric compactifications of the space which allow us to prove that the pressure is differentiable on a residual set and outside an Aronszajn null set in the space of uniformly continuous functions. We establish a criterion, the so-called sectorially arranged property, which implies that the pressure in the original system and in the compactification coincide. Examples showing that the compactifications can have rich boundaries, for example a Cantor set, are provided.
