Abstract

Let f:[0,1][0,1]f : [0, 1] \to [0, 1] be a piecewise expanding unimodal map of class Ck+1C^{k+1}, with k1k \geq 1, and μ=ρdx\mu = \rho dx the (unique) SRB measure associated to it. We study the regularity of ρ\rho. In particular, points N\mathcal{N} where ρ\rho is not differentiable has zero Hausdorff dimension, but is uncountable if the critical orbit of ff is dense. This improves on a work of Szewc (1984). We also obtain results about higher orders of differentiability of ρ\rho in the sense of Whitney.
