Quenched and annealed equilibrium states for random Ruelle expanding maps and applications

Abstract

In this paper we describe the spectral properties of semigroups of expanding maps acting on Polish spaces, considering both sequences of transfer operators along infinite compositions of dynamics and integrated transfer operators. We prove that there exists a limiting behaviour for such transfer operators, and that these semigroup actions admit equilibrium states with exponential decay of correlations and several limit theorems. The reformulation of these results in terms of quenched and annealed equilibrium states extend results by Baladi (1997) and Carvalho, Rodrigues & Varandas (2017), where the randomness is driven by a random walk and the phase space is assumed to be compact. Furthermore, we prove that the quenched equilibrium measures vary Hölder continuously and that the annealed equilibrium states can be recovered from the latter. Finally, we give some applications in the context of weighted non-autonomous iterated function systems, free semigroup actions and on the boundary of equilibria.
