Free Energy and Equilibrium States for Families of Interval Maps
We study continuity, and lack thereof, of thermodynamical properties for one-dimensional dynamical systems. Under quite general
hypotheses, the free energy is shown to be almost upper-semicontinuous: some normalised component of a limit measure will have free
energy at least that of the limit of the free energies. From this, we deduce results concerning existence and continuity of equilibrium
states (including statistical stability). Metric entropy, not semicontinuous as a general multimodal map varies, is shown to be upper
semicontinuous under an appropriate hypothesis on critical orbits. Equilibrium states vary continuously, under mild hypotheses, as one
varies the parameter and the map. We give a general method for constructing induced maps which automatically give strong exponential
tail estimates. This also allows us to recover, and further generalise, recent results concerning statistical properties (decay of
correlations, etc.). Counterexamples to statistical stability are given which also show sharpness of the main results.

Extremes and recurrence in dynamical systems
Written by a team of international experts, Extremes and Recurrence in Dynamical Systems presents a unique point of view on the mathematical theory of extremes and on its applications in the natural and social sciences. Featuring an interdisciplinary approach to new concepts in pure and applied mathematical research, the book skillfully combines the areas of statistical mechanics, probability theory, measure theory, dynamical systems, statistical inference, geophysics, and software application. Emphasizing the statistical mechanical point of view, the book introduces robust theoretical embedding for the application of extreme value theory in dynamical systems. Extremes and Recurrence in Dynamical Systems also features:
• A careful examination of how a dynamical system can serve as a generator of stochastic processes
• Discussions on the applications of statistical inference in the theoretical and heuristic use of extremes
• Several examples of analysis of extremes in a physical and geophysical context
• A final summary of the main results presented along with a guide to future research projects
• An appendix with software in Matlab ® programming language to help readers to develop further understanding of the presented concepts
Extremes and Recurrence in Dynamical Systems is ideal for academics and practitioners in pure and applied mathematics, probability theory, statistics, chaos, theoretical and applied dynamical systems, statistical mechanics, geophysical fluid dynamics, geosciences and complexity science.

Batman, year two
\"With only a year's experience as Gotham City's new protector, Batman must now confront a nightmare out of the past--a distorted reflection of himself called the Reaper, who hunted Gotham's criminals a generation earlier. His methods were harsh and cruel, and violent in the extreme. Now, just as a new breed of criminal is rising, the Reaper has returned to deal out his savage brand of justice. And the only way for Batman to stop this death-dealing vigilante is to forge an alliance with the man who destroyed his life--his own parents' murderer. But can the Dark Knight stand to confront the secret of their deaths? Or will the Reaper's revelations finally cost him his sanity?\"

Hitting time statistics and extreme value theory
We consider discrete time dynamical systems and show the link between Hitting Time Statistics (the distribution of the first time points land in asymptotically small sets) and Extreme Value Theory (distribution properties of the partial maximum of stochastic processes). This relation allows to study Hitting Time Statistics with tools from Extreme Value Theory, and vice versa. We apply these results to non-uniformly hyperbolic systems and prove that a multimodal map with an absolutely continuous invariant measure must satisfy the classical extreme value laws (with no extra condition on the speed of mixing, for example). We also give applications of our theory to higher dimensional examples, for which we also obtain classical extreme value laws and exponential hitting time statistics (for balls). We extend these ideas to the subsequent returns to asymptotically small sets, linking the Poisson statistics of both processes.

Orbits closeness for slowly mixing dynamical systems
Given a dynamical system, we prove that the shortest distance between two n-orbits scales like n to a power even when the system has slow mixing properties, thus building and improving on results of Barros, Liao and the first author [On the shortest distance between orbits and the longest common substring problem. Adv. Math. 344 (2019), 311–339]. We also extend these results to flows. Finally, we give an example for which the shortest distance between two orbits has no scaling limit.
