A compensation function relates equilibrium states on X to equilibrium states on Y. The p-Dini condition is given as a way of measuring the smoothness of a continuous function, with 1-Dini corresponding to functions with summable variation. Two types of compensation functions are defined in terms of this condition. We show that the relative equilibrium states of a 1-Dini function f over a fully supported invariant measure on Y are themselves fully supported, and have positive relative entropy. We then show that there exists a compensation function which is p-Dini for all p > 1 which has relative equilibrium states supported on a finite-to-one subfactor.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-09-24T20:39:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37B10", "37D35" ], "keywords": [ "finite type", "compensation function relates equilibrium states", "relative equilibrium states", "infinite-to-one factor map", "finite-to-one subfactor" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1309.6340A" } } }
