Markov extensions and lifting measures for complex polynomials

Dynamical Systems 2007-06-13 v2

Abstract

For polynomials ff on the complex plane with a dendrite Julia set we study invariant probability measures, obtained from a reference measure. To do this we follow Keller in constructing canonical Markov extensions. We discuss ``liftability'' of measures (both ff-invariant and non-invariant) to the Markov extension, showing that invariant measures are liftable if and only if they have a positive Lyapunov exponent. We also show that δ\delta-conformal measure is liftable if and only if the set of points with positive Lyapunov exponent has positive measure.
