Abstract: An

S

-unimodal map

f

with flat critical point satisfying the Misiurewicz condition displays a freezing phase transition in positive spectrum. We analyze statistical properties of the equilibrium state

m u_{t}

for the potential

- t l o g | D f |

, as well as how the phase transition slows down the rate of decay of correlations. We show that

m u_{t}

has exponential decay of correlations for all inverse temperature

t

contained in the positive entropy phase

(t^{-}, t^{+})

. If the critical point is not too flat, then the freezing point

t^{+}

is equal to

1

, and the absolutely continuous invariant probability measure (acip for short) is the unique equilibrium state at the transition. We exhibit a case in which the acip has sub-exponential decay of correlations and

m u_{t}

converges weakly to the acip as

t e a r r o w t^{+}

.
