Anosov maps with rectangular holes. Nonergodic cases (Q4366302)

The authors extend the results of their previous paper [\textit{N. Chernov} and \textit{R. Markarian}, ibid. 271-314 (1997; Zbl 0893.58035), see the preceding review] to nonmixing and nonergodic cases. At first they translate a part of their results into the language of symbolic dynamics to obtain new properties of the measures \(\mu_+\) and \(\eta_+\) under the mixing condition. Then they replace the mixing condition by the topologically transitive one. Recurrent rectangles can be divided into topologically transitive (TT) groups so that in each group points from any rectangle can be mapped into any other rectangle. If the system has only one dominating TT component (the one with the largest eigenvalue), then the properties of the measures \(\mu_+\) and \(\eta_+\) are determined by the component with the largest eigenvalue. If the system has more than one dominating TT component, they are subdivided into essential and nonessential ones. \(\mu_+\) and \(\eta_+\) are determined by essential dominating (ED) components only. If the system has just one ED component, \(\mu_+\) and \(\eta_+\) are unique and determined by that component. If the system has two or more ED components, the measures \(\mu_+\) and \(\eta_+\) are not unique. Properties of \(\mu_+\) and \(\eta_+\) and other related topics are discussed.
