The Gibbs measure theory for smooth potentials is an old and beautiful subject and has many important applications in modern dynamical systems. For continuous potentials, it is impossible to have such a theory in general. However, we develop a dual g
eometric Gibbs type measure theory for certain continuous potentials in this paper following some ideas and techniques from Teichmuller theory for Riemann surfaces. Furthermore, we prove that the space of those continuous potentials has a Teichmuller structure. Moreover, this Teichmuller structure is a complete structure and is the completion of the space of smooth potentials under this Teichmuller structure. Thus our dual geometric Gibbs type theory is the completion of the Gibbs measure theory for smooth potentials from the dual geometric point of view.
We introduce a function model for the Teichmuller space of a closed hyperbolic Riemann surface. Then we introduce a new metric by using the maximum norm on the function space on the Teichmuller space. We prove that the identity map from the Teichmull
er space equipped with the usual Teichmuller metric to the Teichmuller space equipped with this new metric is uniformly continuous. Furthermore, we also prove that the inverse of the identity, that is, the identity map from the Teichmuller space equipped with this new metric to the Teichmuller space equipped with the usual Teichmuller metric, is continuous. Therefore, the topology induced by the new metric is just the same as the topology induced by the usual Teichmuller metric on the Teichmuller space. We give a remark about the pressure metric and the Weil-Petersson metric.
We show that every uniformly asymptotically affine circle endomorphism has a uniformly asymptotically conformal extension.
In this article we give an expository account of the holomorphic motion theorem based on work of M`a~ne-Sad-Sullivan, Bers-Royden, and Chirka. After proving this theorem, we show that tangent vectors to holomorphic motions have $|epsilon log epsilon|
$ moduli of continuity and then show how this type of continuity for tangent vectors can be combined with Schwarzs lemma and integration over the holomorphic variable to produce Holder continuity on the mappings. We also prove, by using holomorphic motions, that Kobayashis and Teichmullers metrics on the Teichmuller space of a Riemann surface coincide. Finally, we present an application of holomorphic motions to complex dynamics, that is, we prove the Fatou linearization theorem for parabolic germs by involving holomorphic motions.
By applying holomorphic motions, we prove that a parabolic germ is quasiconformally rigid, that is, any two topologically conjugate parabolic germs are quasiconformally conjugate and the conjugacy can be chosen to be more and more near conformal as l
ong as we consider these germs defined on smaller and smaller neighborhoods. Before proving this theorem, we use the idea of holomorphic motions to give a conceptual proof of the Fatou linearization theorem. As a by-product, we also prove that any finite number of analytic germs at different points in the Riemann sphere can be extended to a quasiconformal homeomorphism which can be more and more near conformal as as long as we consider these germs defined on smaller and smaller neighborhoods of these points.
