Non-ergodicity for C^1 Expanding Maps
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the question of existence and uniqueness of absolutely continuous invariant measures for expanding maps of the circle. This is a question which arises naturally from results which are known in the case of expanding maps of the circle where , or even expanding maps of the circle. In these cases, it is known that there exists a unique absolutely continuous invariant probability measure by the so-called `Folklore Theorem'. It follows that this measure is ergodic. It has been shown however that for maps there need not be any such measure. However, this leaves the question of whether there can be more than one such measure for expanding maps of the circle. This is the subject of this paper, and in it, we show that there exists a expanding map of the circle which has more than one absolutely continuous invariant probability measure.
