We show that every diffeomorphism with mostly contracting center direction exhibits a geometric-combinatorial structure, which we call \emph{skeleton}, that determines the number, basins and supports of the physical measures. Furthermore,…

For partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with mostly expanding and mostly contracting centers, we establish a topological structure, called skeleton{a set consisting of finitely many hyperbolic periodic points with maximal cardinality for…

We show that for any $C^1$ partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism, there is a full volume subset, such that any Cesaro limit of any point in this subset satisfies the Pesin formula for partial entropy. This result has several important…

We call a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism \emph{partially volume expanding} if the Jacobian restricted to any hyperplane that contains the unstable bundle $E^u$ is larger than $1$. This is a $C^1$ open property. We show that any…

By using the variational approach, we prove the existence of Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen measures for partially hyperbolic $\mathcal C^1$ diffeomorphisms with mostly expanding properties. The same conclusion holds true if one considers a dominated…

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…

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 consider partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms $f$ with a one-dimensional central direction such that the unstable entropy exceeds the stable entropy. Our main result proves that such maps have a finite number of ergodic measures of…

In this paper, we study physical measures for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with multi one-dimensional centers under the condition that all Gibbs $u$-states are hyperbolic. We prove the finiteness of ergodic physical measures. Then…

Center foliations of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms may exhibit pathological behavior from a measure-theoretical viewpoint: quite often, the disintegration of the ambient volume measure along the center leaves consists of atomic…

We study the partially hyperbolic diffeomorphims whose center direction admits the u-definite property in the sense that all the central Lyapunov exponents of each ergodic Gibbs u-state are either all positive or all negative. We prove that…

We characterize the maximal entropy measures of partially hyperbolic C^2 diffeomorphisms whose center foliations form circle bundles, by means of suitable finite sets of saddle points, that we call skeletons. In the special case of…

For a class of partially hyperbolic $C^k$, $k>1$ diffeomorphisms with circle center leaves we prove existence and finiteness of physical (or Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen) measures, whose basins cover a full Lebesgue measure subset of the ambient…

In this work we study the class of mostly expanding partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. We prove that such class is $C^r$-open, $r>1$, among the partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms (in the narrow sense) and we prove that the mostly…

We prove that the set of diffeomorphisms having at most finitely many attractors contains a dense and open subset of the space of $C^1$ partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one-dimensional center. This is obtained thanks to a robust…

In this paper we mainly deal with an invariant (ergodic) hyperbolic measure $\mu$ for a diffeomorphism $f,$ assuming that $f$ is just $C^1$ and for $\mu$ a.e. $x$, the sum of Oseledec spaces corresponding to negative Lyapunov exponents…

We prove that any diffeomorphism of a compact manifold can be C^1-approximated by a diffeomorphism which exhibits a homoclinic bifurcation (a homoclinic tangency or a heterodimensional cycle) or by a diffeomorphism which is partially…

We show that the metric entropy of a $C^1$ diffeomorphism with a dominated splitting and the dominating bundle uniformly expanding is bounded from above by the integrated volume growth of the dominating (expanding) bundle plus the maximal…

In this paper, we study the limit measures of the empirical measures of Lebesgue almost every point in the basin of a partially hyperbolic attractor. They are strongly related to a notion named Gibbs u-state, which can be defined in a large…

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…
