Sharp statistical properties for a family of multidimensional nonMarkovian nonconformal intermittent maps

Intermittent maps of Pomeau-Manneville type are well-studied in one-dimension, and also in higher dimensions if the map happens to be Markov. In general, the nonconformality of multidimensional intermittent maps represents a challenge that up to now is only partially addressed. We show how to prove sharp polynomial bounds on decay of correlations for a class of multidimensional intermittent maps. In addition we show that the optimal results on statistical limit laws for one-dimensional intermittent maps hold also for the maps considered here. This includes the (functional) central limit theorem and local limit theorem, Berry-Esseen estimates, large deviation estimates, convergence to stable laws and Lévy processes, and infinite measure mixing
