Noncommutative algebras for hyperbolic diffeomorphisms (Q1110877)

The author presents a general definition of Gibbs states (cf. \textit{D. Capocaccia} [Commun. Math. Phys. 48, 85-88 (1976)]). Each Gibbs state \(\alpha\) is related with a state \({\hat \alpha}\) on a suitable \(C^*\)- algebra such that \({\hat \alpha}\) satisfies the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger boundary condition with respect to an explicitly given modular group of automorphisms. The case of a Smale space [cf. the author, Thermodynamic formalism. The mathematical structures of classical equilibriums. Statistical mechanics (1978; Zbl 0401.28016)]) is discussed. In this case according to a result of \textit{N. T. A. Haydn} [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 7, 119-132 (1987; Zbl 0616.58025)] the corresponding definition of Gibbs states is equivalent to that of Sinai [cf. \textit{Ya. G. Sinai}, Usp. Mat. Nauk 27, No.4(166), 21-64 (1972; Zbl 0246.28008)] with the use of Markov partitions. Finally, the author defines Gibbs states \(\rho\) in the case of a \(C^ 2\)-diffeomorphism of a compact manifold having an ergodic invariant measure with no zero characteristic exponent. Each state \(\rho\) is related with a state \({\hat \rho}\) on a von Neumann algebra such that \({\hat \rho}\) satisfies the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger boundary condition with respect to a modular group of automorphisms.
