Pomeau-Manneville maps are global-local mixing (Q1995530)

The authors study a class of interval dynamical systems, which have two increasing surjective expanding branches with an indefinite fixed point at an end of the interval. Such an indefinite fixed point can be identified using some power \(p>0\). By assuming that \(p\ge 1\), the system admits an infinite invariant measure. The main result is that these maps are global-local mixing, that is, for reasonable observables, one has some convergence results of the correlations. Compared with the usual works on finite invariant measures, the role of indefinite fixed points has been examined in a careful way.
