Variational principle for weighted amenable topological pressure

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the thermodynamic formalism of weighted amenable topological pressure for factor maps of amenable group actions. Following the approach of Tsukamoto [\emph{Ergodic Theory Dynam. Syst.} \textbf{43}(2023), 1004-1034.], we introduce the notion of weighted amenable topological pressure for factor maps of amenable group actions, and establish a variational principle for it. As the application of variational principle, we show weighted amenable measure-theoretic entropy can be determined by weighted amenable topological pressure. Equilibrium states of weighted topological pressure are also involved.
