TL;DR
This work develops a rigorous thermodynamic framework for topologically mixing locally conformal expanding semigroup actions on compact manifolds by constructing a countable Markov partition with finite images and finite cycle properties, and by formulating inducing schemes of hyperbolic type. It then models the dynamics via induced towers and a skew product $F_A$, introducing liftable measures through a random Markov-chain construction and establishing a comprehensive thermodynamic formalism for these liftable states. By extending Sarig’s thermodynamics to two-sided countable shifts and linking the original semigroup action to the induced system, the authors prove existence and uniqueness results for equilibrium measures under summability conditions and derive Abramov/Kac-type relations between base and induced dynamics. The results provide a symbolic and probabilistic bridge between semigroup actions and countable-state thermodynamic formalism, with potential applications to ergodic properties, Gibbs states, and equilibrium states in non-uniformly hyperbolic settings.
Abstract
For topologically mixing locally conformal semigroup actions generated by a finite collection of $C^{1+α}$ conformal local diffeomorphisms, we provide a countable Markov partition satisfying the finite images and the finite cycle properties. We show that they admit inducing schemes and describe the tower constructions associated with them. An important feature of these towers is that their induced maps are equivalent to a subshift of countable type. Through the investigating the ergodic properties of induced map, we prove the existence of liftable measures and establish a thermodynamic formalism of the induced skew product with respect to them.
