Dynamical profile of a class of rank-one attractors (Q2842235)

In their previous work [Ann. Math. (2) 167, No. 2, 349--480 (2008; Zbl 1181.37049)], the authors introduced a class of attractors in state spaces of arbitrary dimension, and motivated their suitability to describe several commonly occuring dynamical phenomena for differential equations. These systems are chaotic and possess controlled non-uniform hyperbolicity with precisely one unstable direction (thus, the terminology ``rank-one'').NEWLINENEWLINEThis paper investigates central geometric and ergodic properties of such attractors including results on their Lyapunov exponents, Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen measures, basins of attractions, as well as statistics of time series including central limit theorems, exponential correlation decay and large deviations. Beyond these features, topics such as global geometric and combinatorical structures, symbolic coding and periodic points are addressed. In conclusion, such dynamical systems exhibit various properties which are typically associated with `strange attractors'.
