On factors of Gibbs measures for almost additive potentials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let (X,sigmaX),(Y,sigmaY) be one-sided subshifts with the specification property and pi:XightarrowY a factor map. Let mu be a unique invariant Gibbs measure for a sequence of continuous functions F=logfnn=1infty on X, which is an almost additive potential with bounded variation. We show that pimu is also a unique invariant Gibbs measure for a sequence of continuous functions G=loggnn=1infty on Y. When (X,sigmaX) is a full shift, we characterize G and mu by using relative pressure. This almost additive potential G is a generalization of a continuous function found by Pollicott and Kempton in their work on the images of Gibbs measures for continuous functions under factor maps. We also consider the following question: Given a unique invariant Gibbs measure u for a sequence of continuous functions F2 on Y, can we find an invariant Gibbs measure mu for a sequence of continuous functions F1 on X such that pimu=u? We show that such a measure exists under a certain condition. If (X,sigmaX) is a full shift and u is a unique invariant Gibbs measure for a function in the Bowen class, then we can find a preimage mu of u which is a unique invariant Gibbs measure for a function in the Bowen class.
