Abstract

We consider skew product dynamical systems f:Θ×RΘ×R,f(θ,y)=(Tθ,fθ(y))f:\Theta\times\mathbb{R}\to\Theta\times\mathbb{R}, f(\theta,y)=(T\theta,f_\theta(y)) with a (generalized) baker transformation TT at the base and uniformly bounded increasing C3C^3 fibre maps fθf_\theta with negative Schwarzian derivative. Under a partial hyperbolicity assumption that ensures the existence of strong stable fibres for ff we prove that the presence of these fibres restricts considerably the possible structures of invariant measures - both topologically and measure theoretically, and that this finally allows to provide a "thermodynamic formula" for the Hausdorff dimension of set of those base points over which the dynamics are synchronized, i.e. over which the global attractor consists of just one point.
