Intermediately trimmed strong laws for Birkhoff sums on subshifts of finite type

Abstract

We prove strong laws of large numbers under intermediate trimming for Birkhoff sums over subshifts of finite type. This gives another application of a previous trimming result only proven for interval maps. In case of Markov measures we give a further example of St.\ Petersburg type distribution functions. To prove these statements we introduce the space of quasi-H\"older continuous functions for subshifts of finite type.
