Dimension and measure of baker-like skew-products of \(\boldsymbol{\beta}\)-transformations (Q445220): Difference between revisions

The authors consider a generalized baker transformation and calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor for a set of parameters. They also define a SRB measure. The considered family of transformations is the following. Let \(0 < \lambda <1\) and \(1 < \beta < 2\). For \(Q = [0; 1] \times [0; 1]\), define the family \(T_{\beta, \lambda} :Q\rightarrow Q\) \[ T_{\beta, \lambda} (x; y) =\begin{cases} (\lambda x, \beta y) \quad&\text{if}\quad y< 1/\beta \\ (\lambda x + 1 - \lambda, \beta y -1 ) \quad&\text{if}\quad y \geq 1/\beta. \end{cases} \] Let \[ \nu_n = \frac1n \sum^{n- 1}_{i = 0} \nu \circ T^{-n}_{\beta, \lambda}, \] where \(\nu\) is the Lebesgue measure on \(Q\). The weak \(\ast\)-limit of the sequence \(\{\nu_n\}\) is the unique SRB-measure of \(T_{\beta, \lambda}\) and is denoted by \(\mu_{SRB}\). This measure is supported on the attractor \[ \Lambda =\text{closure}\,\, \biggl(\bigcap^\infty_{n= 0} T^n_{\beta,\lambda}(Q)\biggr). \] The main results of the article are: {\parindent=0.5cm\begin{itemize}\item[-] Let \(1 < \beta < 2\), \(\lambda \in (0, 1/\gamma)\), where \(\gamma\) is certain parameter defined from \(\beta\)-subshifts. Then, the Hausdorff dimension of \(\mu_{SRB}\) is \(1 + \frac{\log \beta}{\log (1/\lambda)}\). \item[-]For \(1 <\beta < 2\), there is an \(\varepsilon > 0\) such that, for all \(\beta\) with \(1/\beta \in (1/\gamma, 1/\gamma + \varepsilon)\) and Lebesgue-almost all \(\lambda \in (1/\beta, 1/\gamma + \varepsilon)\), the measure \(\mu_{SRB}\) is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. \end{itemize}}
