Abstract

We introduce the notion of \emph{mostly nonuniform sectional expanding} (MNUSE) for singular flows which encompasses the notions of sectional hyperbolicity, asymptotically sectional and multisingular hyperbolicity. We exhibit an example of a vector field of class Cr,r>1C^r, r > 1, whose flow exhibits a nonuniformly sectional hyperbolic set satisfying MNUSE, which is neither sectional hyperbolic nor asymptotically sectional hyperbolic. We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of physical/SRB measures for asymptotically sectionally hyperbolic attracting sets with any finite co-dimension, extending the co-dimension two case. We provide examples of such attractors, either with non-sectional hyperbolic equilibria, or with sectional-hyperbolic equilibria of mixed type, i.e., with a Lorenz-like singularity together with a Rovella-like singularity in a transitive set. These are higher-dimensional versions of contracting Lorenz-like attractors (also known as Rovella-like attractors) to which we apply our criteria to obtain a physical/SRB measure with full ergodic basin. We also adapt the previous examples to obtain higher co-dimensional (i.e. with central direction of dimension greater than 22) non-uniformly sectional expanding attractors.
