Abstract

In this paper we investigate maps of the two-torus T2\mathbb{T}^2 of the form T(x,y)=(x+ω,g(x)+f(y))T(x,y)=(x+\omega,g(x)+f(y)) for Diophantine ωT\omega\in\mathbb{T} and for a class of maps f,g:TTf,g:\mathbb{T}\to\mathbb{T}, where each gg is strictly monotone and of degree 2, and each ff is an orientation preserving circle homeomorphism. For our class of ff and gg we show that TT is minimal and has exactly two invariant and ergodic Borel probability measures. Moreover, these measures are supported on two TT-invariant graphs. One of the graphs is a Strange Nonchaotic Attractor whose basin of attraction consists of (Lebesgue) almost all points in T2\mathbb{T}^2. Only a low regularity assumption (Lipschitz) is needed on the maps ff and gg, and the results are robust with respect to Lipschitz-small perturbations of ff and gg.
