It is well known that for subshifts of finite type and equilibrium measures associated to Hölder potentials we have exponential decay of correlations. In this article we derive explicit rates of mixing for equilibrium states associated to more general potentials. 0. Introduction In this paper we shall consider the rate of mixing of subshifts of finite type with respect to equilibrium states for potentials of summable variation. Let σ : XA → XA denote a transitive two-sided subshift of finite type and let g : XA → R be a function of summable variation. Thus there exists a unique equilibrium state μ for g [7]. Assume that f : XA → R is Hölder, then we will study the behaviour as N → +∞ of the correlation function ρ(N) := ∫ f ◦ σ .fdμ− (∫ fdμ )2 . It is a well known result that if the nth variation varn(g) tends to zero exponentially fast, then ρ(N) tends to zero exponentially fast [1] (i.e., if there exists 0 < β < 1 and C > 0 such that varn(g) ≤ Cβ, n ≥ 0, then there exists 0 < θ < 1 and D > 0 such that |ρ(N)| ≤ Dθ , N ≥ 0). In this paper we shall consider the rate at which ρ(N) tends to zero when varn(g) tends to zero at a sub-exponential rate. To help our exposition we shall concentrate on a number of particular cases. Our first main result is the following. Theorem 1. Let σ : XA → XA denote a transitive two-sided subshift of finite type. (1) Polynomially decay: If ∃r > 2, ∃C > 0 such that varn(g) ≤ C ( 1 nr ) , then |ρ(N)| = O ( 1 Nr−2− ) for any > 0. (2) Intermediate decay: If ∃0 < β < 1, ∃C > 0, ∃γ > 1 such that varn(g) ≤ C(β n) γ ), then ∃D > 0, ∃0 < θ < 1 such that |ρ(N)| = D ( θ N) γ− ) for any > 0. (3) Stretched exponential decay: If ∃0 < θ < 1, ∃C > 0 such that varn(g) ≤ C(θ 1/2 ), then ∃D > 0, ∃0 < β < 1 such that |ρ(N)| = D ( β 1/3 ) for any > 0.
