Abstract

We study transfer operators $\mathcal{M}^{(k)}$ associated to a finite family {ψω} of $\mathcal{C}^{r}$ (r ≥ 1) transversal maps Uω$\mathbb{R}^n, where Uω$\mathbb{R}^n, with $\mathcal{C}^{r}$ compactly supported weights gω, acting on k-forms in $\mathbb{R}^n. Using the definitions of sharp trace Tr and flat trace Tr, the following formula holds between power series: $\Det^{\#}(1-z\mathcal{M})=\Pi_{k=0}^n \Det^{\flat}(1-z\mathcal{M}^{(k)})^{(-1)^k}$. Following ideas of Kitaev [17], we define kneading operators $\mathcal{D}_k$(z), which are kernel operators. Our main result is the equality (as formal power series)

$$ \Det^{\#}(1-z\mathcal{M})=\prod_{k=0}^{n-1} \Det^{\flat}\big(1+\mathcal{D}_k(z)\big)^{(-1)^{k+1}}.$$

We also show that a finite power of $\mathcal{D}_k$(z) is trace-class on L2. This (partially) generalizes results obtained by Baladi, Kitaev, Ruelle, and Semmes in dimension one, complex and real [8], [10]).
