F. Brini et S. Siboni, ESTIMATES TO CORRELATION DECAY IN DISCRETE DYNAMICAL-SYSTEMS BY SPECTRAL METHODS, Journal of physics. A, mathematical and general, 31(2), 1998, pp. 639-656
We discuss the use of spectral methods to estimate the decay of correl
ations of observables in discrete dynamical systems. Some abstract res
ults are stated and applied to the analysis of correlation decay for s
mooth and analytic observables considered on a particular class of ske
w-endomorphisms of the 2-torus. General superexponential estimates to
correlation decay are also established for the algebraic automorphisms
and endomorphisms of the n-torus, whenever hyperbolic or purely expan
ding conditions occur.
