Given a dynamical system with a uniformly hyperbolic (`chaotic') attractor, the physically relevant Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen (SRB) measure can be obtained as the limit of the dynamical evolution of the leaf volume along local unstable manifolds.…
We study thermodynamic formalism for topologically transitive partially hyperbolic systems in which the center-stable bundle satisfies a bounded expansion property, and show that every potential function satisfying the Bowen property has a…
An important class of `physically relevant' measures for dynamical systems with hyperbolic behavior is given by Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen (SRB) measures. We survey various techniques for constructing SRB measures and studying their properties,…
Given a two-sided shift space on a finite alphabet and a continuous potential function, we give conditions under which an equilibrium measure can be described using a construction analogous to Hausdorff measure that goes back to the work of…
Let $M$ be a Riemannian, boundaryless, and compact manifold, with $\dim M\geq 2$ and let $f$ be a $C^{1+}$ diffeomorphism. We show that there is a hyperbolic SRB measure if and only if there exists an unstable leaf with a subset of positive…
In this note we report some advances in the study of thermodynamic formalism for a class of partially hyperbolic system -- center isometries, that includes regular elements in Anosov actions. The techniques are of geometric flavor (in…
We introduce and study skew product Smale endomorphisms over finitely irreducible topological Markov shifts with countable alphabets. We prove that almost all conditional measures of equilibrium states of summable and locally Holder…
In this article we will describe a new construction for Gibbs measures for hyperbolic attractors generalizing the original construction of Sinai, Bowen and Ruelle of SRB measures. The classical construction of the SRB measure is based on…
We prove the existence and uniqueness of the SRB measure for singular partially hyperbolic flow in dimension $d\ge 3$. The proof does not use Poincar\'e sectional maps, but uses basic properties of thermodynamic formalism.
We extend D. Burguet's construction of SRB measures for the non invertible scenario obtaining hyperbolic invariant measures with absolutely continuous disintegrations on stable manifolds for a certain class of endomorphisms on the two…
We prove that the statistical properties of random perturbations of a nonuniformly hyperbolic diffeomorphism are described by a finite number of stationary measures. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for the stochastic…
In this paper we obtain $C^2$-open sets of dissipative, partially hyperbolic skew products having a unique SRB measure with full support and full basin. These partially hyperbolic systems have a two dimensional center bundle which presents…
For a class of dynamical systems, called the axiom-A systems, Sinai, Ruelle and Bowen showed the existence of an invariant measure (SRB measure) weakly attracting the temporal average of any initial distribution that is absolutely…
In this paper, we study the existence of SRB measures and their properties for infinite dimensional dynamical systems in a Hilbert space. We show several results including (i) if the system has a partially hyperbolic attractor with…
We investigate the statistical properties of a piecewise smooth dynamical system by studying directly the action of the transfer operator on appropriate spaces of distributions. We accomplish such a program in the case of two-dimensional…
We present a new construction of the entropy-maximizing, invariant probability measure on a Smale space (the Bowen measure). Our construction is based on points that are unstably equivalent to one given point, and stably equivalent to…
It is well-known that equilibrium measures for uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems have a local product structure, which plays an important role in their mixing properties. Existing proofs of this fact rely either on transfer operators…
We prove the existence of SRB measures for diffeomorphisms where a positive volume set of initial conditions satisfy an "effective hyperbolicity" condition that guarantees certain recurrence conditions on the iterates of Lebesgue measure.…
A classical result in thermodynamic formalism is that for uniformly hyperbolic systems, every H\"older continuous potential has a unique equilibrium state. One proof of this fact is due to Rufus Bowen and uses the fact that such systems…
We give a new construction of the measure of maximal entropy for transitive Anosov flows through a method analogous to the construction of Patterson-Sullivan measures in negative curvature. In order to carry out our procedure we prove…
