High-order phase transitions in the quadratic family

We give the first example of a transitive quadratic map whose real and complex geometric pressure functions have a high-order phase transition. In fact, near the phase transition these functions behave as $x \mapsto \exp (- 1 / x^2)$ near $x = 0$, before becoming linear. This quadratic map has a non-recurrent critical point, so it is non-uniformly hyperbolic in a strong sense.
