No or infinitely many a. c. i. p. for piecewise expanding \(C^r\) maps in higher dimensions (Q5959069): Difference between revisions

This paper is devoted to the dynamical properties of piecewise uniformly expanding \(C^r\) maps of the plane. The author shows that, in contrast to the one-dimensional case, piecewise uniformly expanding \(C^r\) maps of the plane may: (a) either have no absolutely continuous probability measures and be such that every point is statistically attracted to a fixed repelling point, (b) or have infinitely many ergodic absolutely continuous probability measures.
