Stochastics and Thermodynamics for Equilibrium Measures of Holomorphic Endomorphisms on Complex Projective Spaces (open access)

Stochastics and Thermodynamics for Equilibrium Measures of Holomorphic Endomorphisms on Complex Projective Spaces

This article proves that the dynamical system (f,μφ) enjoys exponential decay of correlations of Hölder continuous observables as well as the Central Limit Theorem and the Law of Iterated Logarithm for the class of these variables that, in addition, satisfy a natural co-boundary condition. This article also shows that the topological pressure function t ↦ P(tφ) is real-analytic throughout the open set of all parameters t for which the potentials tφ have pressure gaps.
