Abstract

Description

We introduce a non-commutative generalization of the notion of (approximately proper) equivalence relation and propose the construction of a "quotient space". We then consider certain one-parameter groups of automorphisms of the resulting C*-algebra and prove the existence of KMS states at every temperature. In a model originating from Thermodynamics we prove that these states are unique as well. We also show a relationship between maximizing measures (the analogue of the Aubry-Mather measures for expanding maps) and ground states. In the last section we explore an interesting example of phase transitions.
The statement of Theorem 9.10 was reformulated to include a missing hypothesis and some references were added
