A regularity result for fixed points, with applications to linear response

Abstract

In this paper, we show a series of abstract results on fixed point regularity with respect to a parameter. They are based on a Taylor development taking into account a loss of regularity phenomenon, typically occurring for composition operators acting on spaces of functions with finite regularity. We generalize this approach to higher order differentiability, through the notion of an n-graded family. We then give applications to the fixed point of a non linear map, and to linear response in the context of (uniformly) expanding dynamics (theorem 3 and corollary 2), in the spirit of Gou\"ezel-Liverani weak spectral perturbation theorem.
