We study the entropy and Lyapunov exponents of invariant measures $\mu$ for smooth surface diffeomorphisms $f$, as functions of $(f,\mu)$. The main result is an inequality relating the discontinuities of these functions. One consequence is…
For a large class of transitive non-hyperbolic systems, we construct nonhyperbolic ergodic measures with entropy arbitrarily close to its maximal possible value. The systems we consider are partially hyperbolic with one-dimension central…
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…
We prove existence of maximal entropy measures for an open set of non-uniformly expanding local diffeomorphisms on a compact Riemannian manifold. In this context the topological entropy coincides with the logarithm of the degree, and these…
We show that the existence of physical measures for $C^\infty$ smooth instances of certain partially hyperbolic dynamics, both continuous and discrete, exhibiting mixed behavior (positive and negative Lyapunov exponents) along the central…
In this paper we study the existence of positive Lyapunov exponents for three different types of skew products, whose fibers are compact Riemannian surfaces and the action on the fibers are by volume preserving diffeomorphisms. These three…
We show that the time-1 map of an Anosov flow, whose strong-unstable foliation is $C^2$ smooth and minimal, is $C^2$ close to a diffeomorphism having positive central Lyapunov exponent Lebesgue almost everywhere and a unique physical…
We prove that every hyperbolic measure invariant under a C^{1+\alpha} diffeomorphism of a smooth Riemannian manifold possesses asymptotically ``almost'' local product structure, i.e., its density can be approximated by the product of the…
Let $f:M\rightarrow M$ be a $C^1$ diffeomorphism with a dominated splitting on a compact Riemanian manifold $M$ without boundary. We state and prove several sufficient conditions for the topological entropy of $f$ to be positive. The…
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…
We show that for every $C^\infty$ diffeomorphism of a closed Riemannian manifold, if there exists a positive volume set of points which admit some expansion with a positive Lyapunov exponent (in a weak sense) then there exists an invariant…
We consider an abundant class of non-uniformly hyperbolic $C^2$-H\'enon like diffeomorphisms called strongly regular and which corresponds to Benedicks-Carleson parameters. We prove the existence of $m>0$ such that for any such…
In this paper, we proved that for every $C^1$ star vector fields on three-dimensional manifolds, every ergodic hyperbolic invariant measure which is not supported on singularities can be approximated by periodic measures, and the Lyapunov…
We show that for a $C^1$-open and $C^{r}$-dense subset of the set of ergodic iterated function systems of conservative diffeomorphisms of a finite-volume manifold of dimension $d\geq 2$, the extremal Lyapunov exponents do not vanish. In…
We consider a smooth area-preserving Anosov diffeomorphism $f\colon \mathbb T^2\rightarrow \mathbb T^2$ homotopic to an Anosov automorphism $L$ of $\mathbb T^2$. It is known that the positive Lyapunov exponent of $f$ with respect to the…
We consider hyperbolic and partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. Associated with invariant foliation of these systems, we define some topological invariants and show certain relationships between these topological…
The statistical properties of mostly expanding partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms have been substantially studied. In this paper, we would like to address the entropy properties of mostly expanding partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. We…
In the present paper, we study the distribution of the return points in the fibers for a RDS (random dynamical systems) nonuniformly expanding preserving an ergodic probability, we also show the abundance of nonlacunarity of hyperbolic…
We construct countable Markov partitions for non-uniformly hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds of any dimension, extending earlier work of O. Sarig for surfaces. These partitions allow us to obtain symbolic coding on invariant…
The expansion exponent (or expansion constant) for maps was introduced by Schreiber in \cite{s}. In this paper, we introduce the analogous exponent for measures. We shall prove the following results: The expansion exponent of a measurable…
