Lyapunov spectrum for exceptional rational maps

Abstract

We study the dimension spectrum for Lyapunov exponents for rational maps acting on the Riemann sphere and characterize it by means of the Legendre-Fenchel transform of the hidden variational pressure. This pressure is defined by means of the variational principle with respect to nonatomic invariant probability measures and is associated to certain σ-finite conformal measures. This allows to extend previous results to exceptional rational maps.
