Phase transitions for countable Markov shifts (Q5940439)

The paper is devoted to study critical phenomena for some smooth one-parameter families of infinite range potentials on countable Markov shifts. The critical phenomena he considers are non-analyticity of the pressure, changes in the existence of an equilibrium measure, and changes in its finiteness, when it exists. Moreover he applies these results to the Manneville-Pomeau map, and uses them to construct examples with different critical behaviour. See also the author's earlier notes in [C. R. Acad.
