Steve Cantrell:Classical results from symbolic dynamics and thermodynamic formalism tell us about the dynamical/ergodic properties of Hölder functions on subshifts of finite type. In this talk we’ll discuss how to extend some of these results to a general class of functions called quasi-morphisms. We’ll also discuss some applications of these results to geometric problems.
