We study geodesic flows over compact rank 1 manifolds and prove that sufficiently regular
potential functions have unique equilibrium states if the singular set does not carry full …

Uniqueness of the measure of maximal entropy for geodesic flows on certain manifolds without conjugate points

V Climenhaga, G Knieper, K War - Advances in Mathematics, 2021 - Elsevier
We prove that for closed surfaces M with Riemannian metrics without conjugate points and
genus≥ 2 the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle T 1 M has a unique measure of …

Measures of maximal entropy for surface diffeomorphisms

J Buzzi, S Crovisier, O Sarig - Annals of Mathematics, 2022 - projecteuclid.org
We show that C^∞-surface diffeomorphisms with positive topological entropy have finitely
many ergodic measures of maximal entropy in general, and exactly one in the topologically …

Existence and uniqueness of equilibrium states for systems with specification at a fixed scale: an improved Climenhaga–Thompson criterion

MJ Pacifico, F Yang, J Yang - Nonlinearity, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the uniqueness of equilibrium states for dynamical systems that satisfy certain
weak, non-uniform versions of specification, expansivity, and the Bowen property at a fixed …

Unique equilibrium states for Bonatti–Viana diffeomorphisms

V Climenhaga, T Fisher, DJ Thompson - Nonlinearity, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We show that the robustly transitive diffeomorphisms constructed by Bonatti and Viana have
unique equilibrium states for natural classes of potentials. In particular, we characterize the …

Unique equilibrium states for geodesic flows over surfaces without focal points

D Chen, LY Kao, K Park - Nonlinearity, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, we study dynamics of geodesic flows over closed surfaces of genus greater
than or equal to 2 without focal points. Especially, we prove that there is a large class of …

Large deviations for systems with non-uniform structure

V Climenhaga, D Thompson, K Yamamoto - Transactions of the American …, 2017 - ams.org
We use a weak Gibbs property and a weak form of specification to derive level-2 large
deviations principles for symbolic systems equipped with a large class of reference …

Geodesic flows of compact higher genus surfaces without conjugate points have expansive factors

EF Mamani - Nonlinearity, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we show that a geodesic flow of a compact surface without conjugate points of
genus greater than one is time-preserving semi-conjugate to a continuous expansive flow …

Symbolic dynamics for large non-uniformly hyperbolic sets of three dimensional flows
