Abstract: We generalize several results of the classical theory of Thermodynamic Formalism by considering a compact metric space M as the state space. We analyze the shift acting on MmathbbN and consider a general a-priori probability for defining the Transfer (Ruelle) operator. We study potentials A which can depend on the infinite set of coordinates in MmathbbN. We define entropy and by its very nature it is always a nonpositive number. The concepts of entropy and transfer operator are linked. If M is not a finite set there exist Gibbs states with arbitrary negative value of entropy. Invariant probabilities with support in a fixed point will have entropy equal to minus infinity. In the case M=S1, and the a-priori measure is Lebesgue dx, the infinite product of dx on (S1)mathbbN will have zero entropy. We analyze the Pressure problem for a H"older potential A and its relation with eigenfunctions and eigenprobabilities of the Ruelle operator. Among other things we analyze the case where temperature goes to zero and we show some selection results. Our general setting can be adapted in order to analyze the Thermodynamic Formalism for the Bernoulli space with countable infinite symbols. Moreover, the so called XY model also fits under our setting. In this last case M is the unitary circle S1. We explore the differentiable structure of (S1)mathbbN by considering potentials which are of class C1 and we show some properties of the corresponding main eigenfunctions.
