abstract
In this paper we study the thermodynamic formalism of strongly transitive endomorphisms $f$, focusing on the set all expanding measures. In case $f$ is a non-flat $C^{1+}$ map defined on a Riemannian manifold, these are invariant probability measures with all its Lyapunov exponents positive. Given a H\"older continuous potential $\varphi$ we prove the uniqueness of the equilibrium state among the space of expanding measures. Moreover, we show that the existence of an expanding measure $\mu$ maximizing the entropy on the the space of expanding measures implies the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium state $\mu_{\varphi}$ on the space of expanding measures for any H\"older continuous potential $\varphi$ with a small oscillation $\text{osc }\varphi=\sup\varphi-\inf\varphi$. As some applications, we prove that Collet-Eckmann quadratic maps does not admit phase transition for H\"older potential, and show that for Viana maps and every H\"older continuous potential of sufficiently small oscillation has a unique equilibrium state.

Density of spectral gap property for positively expansive dynamics and smooth potentials, with applications to the phase transition problem
For positively expansive maps with a repeller periodic point, smooth potentials with the transfer operator spectral gap and no high/low temperature phase transitions form a dense set, and a stronger claim is made for intermittent skew-products.
