Spectral Properties of Ruelle Transfer Operators for Regular Gibbs Measures and Decay of Correlations for Contact Anosov Flows
In this work we study strong spectral properties of Ruelle transfer operators related to a large family of Gibbs measures for contact
Anosov flows. The ultimate aim is to establish exponential decay of correlations for Hölder observables with respect to a very general
class of Gibbs measures. The approach invented in 1997 by Dolgopyat in “On decay of correlations in Anosov flows” and further developed
in Stoyanov (2011) is substantially refined here, allowing to deal with much more general situations than before, although we still
restrict ourselves to the uniformly hyperbolic case. A rather general procedure is established which produces the desired estimates
whenever the Gibbs measure admits a Pesin set with exponentially small tails, that is a Pesin set whose preimages along the flow have
measures decaying exponentially fast. We call such Gibbs measures regular. Recent results in Gouëzel and Stoyanov (2019) prove existence
of such Pesin sets for hyperbolic diffeomorphisms and flows for a large variety of Gibbs measures determined by Hölder continuous
potentials. The strong spectral estimates for Ruelle operators and well-established techniques lead to exponential decay of correlations
for Hölder continuous observables, as well as to some other consequences such as: (a) existence of a non-zero analytic continuation of
the Ruelle zeta function with a pole at the entropy in a vertical strip containing the entropy in its interior; (b) a Prime Orbit
Theorem with an exponentially small error.

Conformal Graph Directed Markov Systems on Carnot Groups
We develop a comprehensive theory of conformal graph directed Markov systems in the non-Riemannian setting of Carnot groups equipped
with a sub-Riemannian metric. In particular, we develop the thermodynamic formalism and show that, under natural hypotheses, the limit
set of an Carnot conformal GDMS has Hausdorff dimension given by Bowen’s parameter. We illustrate our results for a variety of examples
of both linear and nonlinear iterated function systems and graph directed Markov systems in such sub-Riemannian spaces. These include
the Heisenberg continued fractions introduced by Lukyanenko and Vandehey as well as Kleinian and Schottky groups associated to the
non-real classical rank one hyperbolic spaces.

Eigenfunctions of Transfer Operators and Automorphic Forms for Hecke Triangle Groups of Infinite Covolume
We develop cohomological interpretations for several types of automorphic forms for Hecke triangle groups of infinite covolume. We
then use these interpretations to establish explicit isomorphisms between spaces of automorphic forms, cohomology spaces and spaces of
eigenfunctions of transfer operators. These results show a deep relation between spectral entities of Hecke surfaces of infinite volume
and the dynamics of their geodesic flows.

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.

Geometric pressure for multimodal maps of the interval
This paper is an interval dynamics counterpart of three theories founded earlier by the authors, S. Smirnov and others in the setting
of the iteration of rational maps on the Riemann sphere: the equivalence of several notions of non-uniform hyperbolicity, Geometric
Pressure, and Nice Inducing Schemes methods leading to results in thermodynamical formalism. We work in a setting of generalized
multimodal maps, that is smooth maps

Overlapping Iterated Function Systems from the Perspective of Metric Number Theory
In this paper we develop a new approach for studying overlapping iterated function systems. This approach is inspired by a famous
result due to Khintchine from Diophantine approximation which shows that for a family of limsup sets, their Lebesgue measure is
determined by the convergence or divergence of naturally occurring volume sums. For many parameterised families of overlapping iterated
function systems, we prove that a typical member will exhibit similar Khintchine like behaviour. Families of iterated function systems
that our results apply to include those arising from Bernoulli convolutions, the
For each
Last of all, we introduce a property of an iterated function system that we call being consistently
separated with respect to a measure. We prove that this property implies that the pushforward of the measure is absolutely continuous.
We include several explicit examples of consistently separated iterated function systems.
