AbstractWe develop a Ruelle–Perron–Fröbenius transfer operator approach to the ergodic theory of a large class of non-uniformly expanding transformations on compact manifolds. For Hölder continuous potentials not too far from constant, we prove that the transfer operator has a positive eigenfunction, which is piecewise Hölder continuous, and use this fact to show that there is exactly one equilibrium state. Moreover, the equilibrium state is a non-lacunary Gibbs measure, a non-uniform version of the classical notion of Gibbs measure that we introduce here.
