This is a theorem of Lanford and Ruelle. Conversely, a theorem of Dobru{\\v{s}}in states that for strongly-irreducible subshifts, shift-invariant Gibbs-measures are equilibrium measures. Here we prove a generalization of the Lanford-Ruelle theorem: for all subshifts, any equilibrium measure for a function with $d$-summable variation is \"topologically Gibbs\". This is a relaxed notion which coincides with the usual notion of a Gibbs measure for SFTs. In the second part of the paper, we study Gibbs and equilibrium measures for some interesting families of subshifts: $\\beta$-shifts, Dyck-shifts and Kalikow-type shifts (defined below). In all of these cases, a Lanford-Ruelle type theorem holds. For each of these families we provide a specific proof of the result.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-03-08T14:04:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37B10", "37D35" ], "keywords": [ "equilibrium measure", "lanford-ruelle type theorem holds", "summable variation", "gibbs measure", "usual notion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0903.1426M" } } }
