Open Conformal Systems and Perturbations of Transfer Operators

The focus of this book is on open conformal dynamical systems corresponding to the escape of a point through an open Euclidean ball. The ultimate goal is to understand the asymptotic behavior of the escape rate as the radius of the ball tends to zero.  In the case of hyperbolic conformal systems this has been addressed by various authors. The conformal maps considered in this book are far more gen...
