Thermodynamic formalism for Quasi-Morphisms: Bounded Cohomology and Statistics
For a compact negatively curved space, we develop a notion of thermodynamic formalism and apply it to study the
space of quasi-morphisms of its fundamental group modulo boundedness. We prove that this space is Banach isomorphic
to the space of B...

Rigidity of equilibrium states and unique quasi-ergodicity for horocyclic foliations
In this paper we prove that for topologically mixing metric Anosov flows their equilibrium states corresponding to H\"older potentials satisfy a strong rigidity property: they are determined only by their disintegrations on (strong) stable or unst...
