Thermodynamic formalism, topological pressure, and escape rates for critically non-recurrent conformal dynamics
We show that for critically non-recurrent rational functions all the definitions of topological pressure proposed in [12] coincide for all t ≥ 0. Then we study in detail the Gibbs states corresponding to the potentials -tlog|f'| and their σ-finite invariant versions. In particular we provide a sufficient condition for their finiteness. We determine the escape rates of critically non-recurrent rational functions. In the presence of parabolic points we also establish a polynomial rate of appropriately...
