Dissipative conformal measures on locally compact spaces
arXiv:1312.5969 · doi:10.1017/etds.2014.73
Abstract
The paper introduces a general method to construct conformal measures for a local homeomorphism on a locally compact non-compact Hausdorff space, subject to mild irreducibility-like conditions. Among others the method is used to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of eigenmeasures for the dual Ruelle operator associated to a locally compact non-compact irreducible Markov shift equipped with a uniformly continuous potential function. As an application to operator algebras the results are used to determine for which there are gauge invariant -KMS weights on a simple graph -algebra when the one-parameter automorphism group is given by a uniformly continuous real-valued function on the path space of the graph.
