Resumen de Multifractal analysis of the Lyapunov esponenet for the backward continued fraction map

Godofredo Iommi Echeverría

• In this paper we study the multifractal spectrum of Lyapunov exponents for interval maps with infinitely many branches and a parabolic fixed point. It turns out that, in strong contrast with the hyperbolic case, the domain of the spectrum is unbounded and points of non-differentiability might exist. Moreover, the spectrum is not concave.

  We establish conditions that ensure the existence of inflection points. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that conditions of this type have been given. We also study the thermodynamic formalism for such maps. We prove that the pressure function is real analytic in a certain interval and then becomes equal to zero. We also discuss the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium measures. In order to do so, we introduce a family of countable Markov shifts that can be thought of as a generalization of the renewal shift.
