Distance Expanding Random Mappings, Thermodynamical Formalism, Gibbs Measures and Fractal Geometry

The theory of random dynamical systems originated from stochastic differential equations. It is intended to provide a framework and techniques to describe and analyze the evolution of dynamical systems when the input and output data are known only approxi

Preface

In this book we introduce measurable expanding random systems, develop the thermodynamical formalism and establish, in particular, exponential decay of correlations and analyticity of the expected pressure although the spectral gap property does not hold. This theory is then used to investigate fractal properties of conformal random systems. We prove a Bowen’s formula and develop the multifractal formalism of the Gibbs states. Depending on the behavior of the Birkhoff sums of the pressure function we get a natural classifications of the systems into two classes: quasi-deterministic systems which share many properties of deterministic ones and essential random systems which are rather generic and never bi-Lipschitz equivalent to deterministic systems. We show in the essential case that the Hausdorff measure vanishes which refutes a conjecture of Bogensch¨utz and Ochs. We finally give applications of our results to various specific conformal random systems and positively answer a question of Br¨uck and B¨uger concerning the Hausdorff dimension of randomJulia sets.
