The spectra of transfer operators associated to dynamical systems, when acting on suitable Banach spaces, contain key information about the ergodic properties of the systems. Focusing on expanding and hyperbolic maps, this book gives a self-contained account on the relation between zeroes of dynamical determinants, poles of dynamical zeta functions, and the discrete spectra of the transfer operators.

In the hyperbolic case, the first key step consists in constructing a suitable Banach space of anisotropic distributions. The first part of the book is devoted to the easier case of expanding endomorphisms, showing how the (isotropic) function spaces relevant there can be studied via Paley–Littlewood decompositions, and allowing easier access to the construction of the anisotropic spaces which is performed in the second part.

This is the first book describing the use of anisotropic spaces in dynamics. Aimed at researchers and graduate students, it presents results and techniques developed since the beginning of the twenty-first century.

За автора

Viviane Baladi has been working as a researcher for CNRS since 1990 (currently Directeur de Recherche at Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu-Paris Rive Gauche), spending several academic years on leave to teach at the Universities of Geneva and Copenhagen, and at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich. Her interest in dynamical zeta functions and transfer operators developed during her Ph.D. in Geneva. She has since applied transfer operators to algorithmics, linear response and the violation thereof, and rates of mixing for Sinai billiards. She has further played a key role introducing anisotropic spaces of distributions in dynamical systems.
