Vericat %J ACTA MATHEMATICA UNIVERSITATIS COMENIANAE %D 2013 %I Acta Mathematica Universitatis Comenianae %X A Teichm¨šller like structure on the space of d-degree holomorphic maps on the circle S1, marked by conjugations to the map z zd, can be defined. Here we introduce a definition of free energy associated to this kind of dynamics as an invariant of equivalence classes in the Teichm¨šller space. This quantity encodes a length spectrum of rotation cycles in S1. %K Free energy %K circle map %K Teichm¨šller space. %U http://www.emis.de/journals/AMUC/_vol-82/_no_1/_vericat/vericat.html
