Abstract

In this paper we obtain C2C^2-open sets of dissipative, partially hyperbolic skew products having a unique SRB measure with full support and full basin. These partially hyperbolic systems have a two dimensional center bundle which presents both expansion and contraction but does not admit any further dominated splitting of the center. These systems are non conservative perturbations of an example introduced by Berger-Carrasco. To prove the existence of SRB measures for these perturbations, we obtain a measure rigidity result for uu-Gibbs measures for partially hyperbolic skew products. This is an adaptation of a measure rigidity result by A. Brown and F. Rodriguez Hertz for stationary measures of random product of surface diffeomorphisms. In particular, we classify all the possible uu-Gibbs measures that may appear in a neighborhood of the example. Using this classification, and ruling out some of the possibilities, we obtain open sets of systems, in a neighborhood of the example, having a unique uu-Gibbs measure which is SRB.
