We prove the existence of equilibrium states for partially hyperbolic endomorphisms with one-dimensional center bundle. We also prove, regarding a class of potentials, the uniqueness of such measures for endomorphisms defined on the 2-torus…
We obtain a dichotomy for $C^1$-generic, volume-preserving diffeomorphisms: either all the Lyapunov exponents of almost every point vanish or the volume is ergodic and non-uniformly Anosov (i.e. nonuniformly hyperbolic and the splitting…
In this paper, we show that for several interesting systems beyond uniform hyperbolicity, any generic continuous function has a unique maximizing measure with zero entropy. In some cases, we also know that the maximizing measure has full…
We prove absolute continuity of "high entropy" hyperbolic invariant measures for smooth actions of higher rank abelian groups assuming that there are no proportional Lyapunov exponents. For actions on tori and infranilmanifolds existence of…
A classical construction due to Newhouse creates horseshoes from hyperbolic periodic orbits with large period and weak domination through local $C^1$-perturbations. Our main theorem shows that, when one works in the $C^1$ topology, the…
Let $f: M \to M$ be a $C^r$-diffeomorphism, $r\geq 1$, defined on a compact boundaryless $d$-dimensional manifold $M$, $d\geq 2$, and let $H(p)$ be the homoclinic class associated to the hyperbolic periodic point $p$. We prove that if there…
In this paper we consider $C^{1}$ diffeomorphisms on compact Riemannian manifolds of any dimension that admit a dominated splitting $E^{cs} \oplus E^{cu}.$ We prove that if the Lyapunov exponents along $E^{cu}$ are positive for Lebesgue…
We study transitive step skew-product maps modeled over a complete shift of $k$, $k\ge2$, symbols whose fiber maps are defined on the circle and have intermingled contracting and expanding regions. These dynamics are genuinely nonhyperbolic…
We introduce the concept of a heterodimensional cycle of hyperbolic ergodic measures and a special type of them that we call rich. Within a partially hyperbolic context, we prove that if two measures are related by a rich heterodimensional…
The article states that for every compact manifold M of dimension 4 or higher there is an area U in a set of smooth diffeomorphisms over M such that every map f from U has local maximal partially hyperbolic attractor and nonatomic ergodic…
We prove that, for a $C^2$ partially hyperbolic endomorphism of the 2-torus which is strongly transitive, given an ergodic $u$-Gibbs measure that has positive center Lyapunov exponent and has full support, then either the map is special…
A smooth conservative DA-diffeomorphism is smoothly conjugated to its Anosov linear part if and only if all Lyapunov exponents coincide almost everywhere with those of its linear part. A more general result for entropy maximizing measures…
For r > 1, we show, using the Ledrappier-Young entropy characterization of SRB measures for non-invertible maps, that if a C^r map f of the interval or the circle has its Lyapunov exponent greater than 1/r log ||f ' || $\infty$ on a set E…
In this paper, we establish a new quasi-shadowing property for any nonuiformly partially hyperbolic set of a $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphism, which is adaptive to the movement of the pseudo-orbit. Moreover, the quasi-specification property…
In this paper we consider a non-atomic invariant hyperbolic measure $\mu$ of a $C^1$ diffeomorphsim on a compact manifold, in whose Oseledec splitting the stable bundle dominates the unstable bundle on $\mu$ a.e. points. We show an…
For a nonlinear Anosov diffeomorphism of the 2-torus, we present examples of measures so that the group of $\mu$-preserving diffeomorphisms is, up to zero-entropy transformations, cyclic. For families of equilibrium states $\mu$, we…
We prove the stable ergodicity of an example of a volume-preserving, partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism introduced by Pierre Berger and Pablo Carrasco. This example is robustly non-uniformly hyperbolic, with two dimensional center, almost…
We study entropies caused by the unstable part of partially hyperbolic systems. We define unstable metric entropy and unstable topological entropy, and establish a variational principle for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphsims, which states…
We show that for any C^1+alpha diffeomorphism of a compact Riemannian manifold, every non-atomic, ergodic, invariant probability measure with non-zero Lyapunov exponents is approximated by uniformly hyperbolic sets in the sense that there…
In this paper, we define and study unstable measure theoretic pressure for C^1-smooth partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with sub-additive potentials. For any ergodic measure, we show that this unstable metric pressure equals the…
