For a non-generic, yet dense subset of $C^1$ expanding Markov maps of the interval we prove the existence of uncountably many Lyapunov optimizing measures which are ergodic, fully supported and have positive entropy. These measures are…

We study $C^1$-robustly transitive and nonhyperbolic diffeomorphisms having a partially hyperbolic splitting with one-dimensional central bundle whose strong un-/stable foliations are both minimal. {In dimension $3$, an important class of…

We prove that the entropy map for countable Markov shifts of finite entropy is upper semi-continuous at ergodic measures. Note that the phase space is non-compact. Applications to systems that can be coded by these shifts, such as positive…

We prove that the skew product over a linearly recurrent interval exchange transformation defined by almost any real-valued, mean-zero linear combination of characteristic functions of intervals is ergodic with respect to Lebesgue measure.

We construct measures of maximal $u$-entropy for any partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism that factors over an Anosov torus automorphism and has mostly contracting center direction. The space of such measures has a finite dimension, and its…

We introduce a class of continuous maps f of a compact metric space I admitting inducing schemes and describe the tower constructions associated with them. We then establish a thermodynamical formalism, i.e., describe a class of real-valued…

We give a new type of sufficient condition for the existence of measures with maximal entropy for an interval map $f$, using some non-uniform hyperbolicity to compensate for a lack of smoothness of $f$. More precisely, if the topological…

Let $\mu$ be the equilibrium measure of an endomorphism of ${\sf P}^k({\bf C})$. We show that it is its unique measure of maximal entropy. We build $\mu$ directly as the distribution of any point outside an algebraic exceptional set.

In the first part of the thesis, we study some dynamical properties of skew products of H\'enon maps of $\mbb C^2$ that are fibered over a compact metric space $M$. The problem reduces to understanding the dynamical behavior of the…

We consider the case of hyperbolic basic sets $\Lambda$ of saddle type for holomorphic maps $f: \mathbb P^2\mathbb C \to \mathbb P^2\mathbb C$. We study equilibrium measures $\mu_\phi$ associated to a class of H\"older potentials $\phi$ on…

In this paper, we show that each expanding Thurston map $f : S^2\rightarrow S^2$ has $1+ deg f$ fixed points, counted with appropriate weight, where $ deg f$ denotes the topological degree of the map $f$. We then prove the equidistribution…

For a dynamical system satisfying the approximate product property and asymptotically entropy expansiveness, we characterize a delicate structrue of the space of invariant measures: The ergodic measures of intermediate entropies and…

We study the measure theoretic properties of typical C 0 maps of the interval. We prove that any ergodic measure is pseudo-physical, and conversely, any pseudo-physical measure is in the closure of the ergodic measures, as well as in the…

The (measure-theoretical) entropy of a diffeomorphism along an expanding invariant foliation is the rate of complexity generated by the diffeomorphism along the leaves of the foliation. We prove that this number varies upper…

We study attracting graphs of step skew products from the topological and ergodic points of view where the usual contracting-like assumptions of the fiber dynamics are replaced by weaker merely topological conditions. In this context, we…

Consider a homeomorphism $f$ defined on a compact metric space $X$ and a continuous map $\phi\colon X \to \mathbb{R}$. We provide an abstract criterion, called \emph{control at any scale with a long sparse tail} for a point $x\in X$ and the…

It is known that transitive Anosov diffeomorphisms have a unique measure of maximal entropy (MME). Here we discuss the converse question. Under suitable hypothesis on Lyapunov exponents on the set of periodic points and the structure of the…

We prove the hyperbolicity of ergodic maximal entropy measures for a class of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of $\mathbb{T}^{d}$, which have a compact two-dimensional center foliation.

We obtain the following dichotomy for accessible partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of 3-dimensional manifolds having compact center leaves: either there is a unique entropy maximizing measure, this measure has the Bernoulli property and…

For a non-conformal repeller $\Lambda$ of a $C^{1+\alpha}$ map $f$ preserving an ergodic measure $\mu$ of positive entropy, this paper shows that the Lyapunov dimension of $\mu$ can be approximated gradually by the Carath\'{e}odory singular…
