Abstract

We show some level-2 large deviation principles for rational maps satisfying a strong form of non-uniform hyperbolicity, called ‘Topological Collet–Eckmann’. More precisely, we prove a large deviation principle for the distribution of iterated preimages, periodic points, and Birkhoff averages. For this purpose we show that each Hölder continuous potential admits a unique equilibrium state, and that the pressure function can be characterized in terms of iterated preimages, periodic points, and Birkhoff averages. Then we use a variant of a general result of Kifer.
