We show that for entire maps of the form $z \mapsto \lambda \exp(z)$ such that the orbit of zero is bounded and such that Lebesgue almost every point is transitive, no absolutely continuous invariant probability measure can exist. This…

R.D.Mauldin asked if every translation invariant $\sigma$-finite Borel measure on $\RR^d$ is a constant multiple of Lebesgue measure. The aim of this paper is to show that the answer is "yes and no", since surprisingly the answer depends on…

We prove that, under a mild summability condition on the growth of the derivative on critical orbits any piecewise monotone interval map possibly containing discontinuities and singularities with infinite derivative (cusp map) admits an…

We show the existence of Lebesgue-equivalent conservative and ergodic $\sigma$-finite invariant measures for a wide class of one-dimensional random maps consisting of piecewise convex maps. We also estimate the size of invariant measures…

We show that a $C^1$-generic expanding map of the circle has no absolutely continuous invariant $\sigma$-finite measure.

A sufficient geometrical condition for the existence of absolutely continuous invariant probability measures for S-unimodal maps will be discussed. The Lebesgue typical existence of such measures in the quadratic family will be a…

We study some special classes of piecewise continuous maps on a finite smooth partition of a compact manifold and look for invariant measures for such maps. We show that in the simplest one-dimensional case (so-called interval translation…

We prove that for any given modulus of continuity {\omega} there exist (uncountably many) C1 uniformly expanding maps of the circle whose derivatives have $C^1$ as an optimal modulus of continuity and which preserve an invariant probability…

We analyze certain parametrized families of one-dimensional maps with infinitely many critical points from the measure-theoretical point of view. We prove that such families have absolutely continuous invariant probability measures for a…

For continuous maps on a compact manifold M, particularly for those that do not preserve the Lebesgue measure m, we define the observable invariant probability measures as a generalization of the physical measures. We prove that any…

In this paper, we consider the question of existence and uniqueness of absolutely continuous invariant measures for expanding $C^1$ maps of the circle. This is a question which arises naturally from results which are known in the case of…

A general construction for $\sigma-$finite absolutely continuous invariant measure will be presented. It will be shown that the local bounded distortion of the Radon-Nykodym derivatives of $f^n_*(\lambda)$ will imply the existence of a…

Let $M$ be a smooth compact manifold (maybe with boundary, maybe disconnected) of any dimension $d \ge 1$. We consider the set of $C^1$ maps $f:M\to M$ which have no absolutely continuous (with respect to Lebesgue) invariant probability…

We show that a dissipative, ergodic measure preserving transformation of a sigma-finite, non-atomic measure space always has many non-proportional, absolutely continuous, invariant measures and is ergodic with respect to each one of these.

We give conditions that characterize the existence of an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure for a degree one $C^2$ endomorphism of the circle which is bimodal, such that all its periodic orbits are repelling, and such that…

In this paper we provide sufficient conditions which guarantee the existence of a system of invariant measures for semigroups associated to systems of parabolic differential equations with unbounded coefficients. We prove that these…

We say that $f:[0,1]\to [0,1]$ is a {\it piecewise continuous interval map} if there exists a partition $0=x_0<x_1<\cdots<x_{d}<x_{d+1}=1$ of $[0,1]$ such that $f\vert_{(x_{i-1},x_i)}$ is continuous and the lateral limits $w_0^+=\lim_{x\to…

We construct an invariant measure for a piecewise analytic interval map whose Lyapunov exponent is not defined. Moreover, for a set of full measure, the pointwise Lyapunov exponent is not defined. This map has a Lorenz-like singularity and…

We study the sigma-finite measures in the space of vector-valued distributions on the manifold $X$ with Laplace transform $$\Psi(f)=\exp\{-\theta\int_X\ln||f(x)||dx\}, \theta>0.$$ We also consider the weak limit of Haar measures on the…

We show that for a large class of maps on manifolds of arbitrary finite dimension, the existence of a Gibbs-Markov-Young structure (with Lebesgue as the reference measure) is a necessary as well as sufficient condition for the existence of…
