Abstract

By applying Grothendieck theory and Ruelle thermodynamic formalism, we prove that, for expansive dynamical systems and interaction potentials satisfying certain conditions of analyticity, the associated Gibbs states are unique. This allows us to draw an analogy between some quantities in classical thermodynamics and abstract dynamics in the spirit of the previous work of the authors [13].
