Nonexistence of infinitely many phase transitions for surface diffeomorphisms

At least 2 years old · documented by

Let SS be a compact surface, let f∈Diff⁡1(S)f\in \operatorname{Diff}^{1}(S) 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 f∈Diff⁡1(S)f\in \operatorname{Diff}^{1}(S) such that ff 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.
