Abstract: One of the many interesting ideas which has been imported into Dynamical Systems from Statistical Mechanics is that of Gibbs measures. These are families of measures which typically behave well in terms of the dynamics. Since they originated in Statistical Mechanics there is a natural parameter called the "inverse temperature" 1/T and it is natural to consider the limiting behaviour of the measures as the "temperature" tends to zero (i.e., the cold climate). In some cases the limit was described by a result of Bremont in 2003. We will describe a new elementary proof. This is joint work with Oliver Jenkinson (started in 2007 and finished in October 2026)
Bio-Sketch: Prof. Mark Pollicott obtained his PhD degree from Warwick University in 1984, and is currently a professor at Warwick University. He has produced more than 200 papers. Basides surveys and conference papers, he has published more than 170 papers on internationally renowed journals, including Annals of Mathematics (3) and Inventiones Mathematicae (7). He has also produced 6 books as the author and 3 books as the edtior. He has been awarded many grants, including ERC Advanced Grant, EPSRC Leadership Fellowship, and EPSRC standard grant (8 times).
