Abstract

We prove uniqueness of equilibrium states for a family of partially hyperbolic horseshoes associated to a class of Hölder continuous potentials with small variation and derive statistical properties for this unique equilibrium. We define a projection map associated to the horseshoe and prove a spectral gap for its transfer operator acting on some space of Hölder continuous observables. From this we deduce an exponential decay of correlations and a central limit theorem. We finally extend these results to the horseshoe via Rohlin’s disintegration of the equilibrium along the stable fibers.
