Audit review
The paper proves Bernoulli-ness for the stated subadditive equilibrium states by establishing measurable local product structure and then applying an abstract K + product-absolute-continuity ⇒ Bernoulli theorem, after invoking quasi-multiplicativity/bounded distortion and a prior K-property result. The candidate solution instead tries to short-circuit everything by appealing directly to Morris’s Bernoulli theorem for totally ergodic generalized matrix equilibrium states, but that theorem applies in the locally constant (matrix) setting, whereas the paper’s fiber-bunched Hölder cocycles are not assumed locally constant. Thus the model misapplies an external result; the paper’s argument is consistent and complete.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions
\textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field
\textbf{Justification:}
The paper provides a clean, general criterion to deduce Bernoulli from K plus product absolute continuity and applies it to a broad class of subadditive equilibrium states arising from fiber-bunched cocycles, extending beyond the locally constant setting. The argument is clear, technically sound, and connects well with contemporary subadditive thermodynamic formalism.
