Abstract: We develop a quenched thermodynamic formalism for open random dynamical systems generated by finitely branched, piecewise-monotone mappings of the interval. The openness refers to the presence of holes in the interval, which terminate trajectories once they enter; the holes may also be random. Our random driving is generated by an invertible, ergodic, measure-preserving transformation

s i g m a

on a probability space

(O m e g a, m a t h s c r F, m)

. For each

o m e g a i n O m e g a

we associate a piecewise-monotone, surjective map

T_{o} m e g a : I o I

, and a hole

H_{o} m e g a s u b s e t I

; the map

T_{o} m e g a

, the random potential

v a r p h i_{o} m e g a

, and the hole

H_{o} m e g a

generate the corresponding open transfer operator

m a t h c a l L_{o} m e g a

. For a contracting potential, under a condition on the open random dynamics in the spirit of Liverani--Maume-Deschamps, we prove there exists a unique random probability measure

u_{o} m e g a

supported on the survivor set

X_{o m e g a, i n f t y}

satisfying

u_{s i g m a (o m e g a)} (m a t h c a l L_{o} m e g a f) = l a m b d a_{o} m e g a u_{o} m e g a (f)

. We also prove the existence of a unique random family of functions

q_{o} m e g a

that satisfy

m a t h c a l L_{o} m e g a q_{o} m e g a = l a m b d a_{o} m e g a q_{s i g m a (o m e g a)}

. These yield an ergodic random invariant measure

m u = u q

supported on the global survivor set, while

q

combined with the random closed conformal measure yields a unique random absolutely continuous conditional invariant measure (RACCIM)

e t a

supported on

I

. We prove quasi-compactness of the transfer operator cocycle and exponential decay of correlations for

m u

. Finally, the escape rates of the random closed conformal measure and the RACCIM

e t a

coincide, and are given in terms of the expected pressure, as is the Hausdorff dimension of the surviving set

X_{o m e g a, i n f t y}

. We provide examples of our general theory, including random

-transformations and random Lasota-Yorke maps.
