Linear response, and consequences for differentiability of statistical quantities and Multifractal Analysis

Abstract

In this article we initially fix ourselves to smooth (C^r) expanding dynamical systems. We prove the C^{r-1} differentiability of the topological pressure, equilibrium states and their densities with respect to smooth expanding dynamical systems and any smooth potential (C^{r-1}- linear response formula wiyh respect to the dynamics, and analytical response formula with respect to the potential). This is done by proving the regularity of the dominant eigenvalue of the transfer operator with respect to dynamics and potential. From that, we obtain strong consequences on the regularity of the dynamical system statistical properties, that apply in more general contexts. Indeed, we prove that the average and variance obtained from the central limit theorem vary $C^{r-1}$ with respect to the $C^{r}-$expanding dynamics and $C^{r}-$potential, and also, there is a large deviations principle with its rate $C^{r-1}$ with respect to the dynamics and potential. An application for multifractal analysis is given.
