Statistical properties of dynamical systems via induced weak Gibbs Markov maps

Abstract In this article, we address the decay of correlations for dynamical systems that admit an induced weak Gibbs Markov (GM) map (not necessarily full branch). Our approach generalizes Young’s coupling arguments to estimate the decay of correlations for the tower map of the induced weak GM map in terms of the tail of the return time function. For that we initially discuss how to ensure the mixing property of the tower map. Additionally, we yield results concerning the central limit theorem and large deviations.
