Gaussian Concentration bound for potentials satisfying Walters condition with subexponential continuity rates
Résumé
We consider the full shift $T:\Omega\to\Omega$ where $\Omega=A^{\mathbb{N}}$, $A$ being a finite alphabet. For a class of
potentials which contains in particular potentials $\phi$ with variation decreasing like $O(n^{-\alpha})$ for some $\alpha>2$, we prove that their corresponding equilibrium state $\mu_\phi$ satisfies a Gaussian concentration bound. Namely, we prove that there exists a constant $C>0$ such that, for all $n$ and for all separately Lipschitz functions $K(x_0,\ldots,x_{n-1})$, the exponential moment of $K(x,\ldots,T^{n-1}x)-\int K(y,\ldots,T^{n-1}y)\, \mathrm{d}\mu_\phi(y)$ is bounded by
$\exp\big(C\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} \mathrm{Lip}_i(K)^2\big)$. The crucial point is that $C$ is independent of $n$ and $K$. We then derive various consequences of this inequality. For instance, we obtain bounds on the fluctuations of the empirical frequency of blocks,
the speed of convergence of the empirical measure, and speed of Markov approximation of $\mu_\phi$. We also derive an almost-sure central limit theorem.
