Nonexistence of infinitely many phase transitions for surface diffeomorphisms
Nonexistence of infinitely many phase transitions for surface diffeomorphisms
Let be a compact surface, let be a diffeomorphism, and let the potential be Holder continuous. A phase transition is a failure of analyticity or differentiability of the pressure function associated to the potential. Infinite phase-transition conjecture. There is no diffeomorphism such that has infinitely many phase transitions with respect to a Holder continuous potential. The conjecture is motivated by examples with arbitrarily large finite numbers of phase transitions, while infinite phase transitions are expected not to occur in this differentiable setting.
