Weak KAM methods and ergodic optimal problems for countable Markov shifts

چکیده
Let σ : Σ → Σ be the left shift acting on Σ, a one-sided Markov subshift on a countable alphabet. Our intention is to guarantee the existence of σinvariant Borel probabilities that maximize the integral of a given locally Hölder continuous potential A : Σ → R. Under certain conditions, we are able to show not only that A-maximizing probabilities do exist, but also that they are characterized by the fact their support lies actually in a particular Markov subshift on a finite alphabet. To that end, we make use of objects dual to maximizing measures, the so-called sub-actions (concept analogous to subsolutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation), and specially the calibrated sub-actions (notion similar to weak KAM solutions).

— We give a survey of the entropy theory of interval maps as it can be analyzed using ergodic theory, especially measures of maximum entropy and periodic points. The main tools are (i) a suitable version of Hofbauer’s Markov diagram, (ii) the shadowing property and the implied entropy bound and weak rank one property, (iii) strongly positively recurrent countable state Markov shifts. Proofs are...
متن کاملInvariant Cocycles, Random Tilings and the Super-K and Strong Markov Properties
We consider 1-cocycles with values in locally compact, second countable abelian groups on discrete, nonsingular, ergodic equivalence relations. If such a cocycle is invariant under certain automorphisms of these relations we show that the skew product extension defined by the cocycle is ergodic. As an application we obtain an extension of many of the results in [9] to higher-dimensional shifts ...

متن کاملErgodic BSDEs Driven by Markov Chains
We consider ergodic backward stochastic differential equations, in a setting where noise is generated by a countable state uniformly ergodic Markov chain. We show that for Lipschitz drivers such that a comparison theorem holds, these equations admit unique solutions. To obtain this result, we show by coupling and splitting techniques that uniform ergodicity estimates of Markov chains are robust...
متن کاملGood Potentials for Almost Isomorphism of Countable State Markov Shifts
Almost isomorphism is an equivalence relation on countable state Markov shifts which provides a strong version of Borel conjugacy; still, for mixing SPR shifts, entropy is a complete invariant of almost isomorphism [2]. In this paper, we establish a class of potentials on countable state Markov shifts whose thermodynamic formalism is respected by almost isomorphism.
