Expanding measures (Q654166)

In this paper, the author studies non-uniformly expanding sets and expanding measures. He proves that any \(C^{1+\alpha}\) map, with a non-flat critical set, admits an invariant probability measure which is absolutely continuous with respect to an expanding measure whose Jacobian satisfies a distortion condition. Also, given a non-uniformly expanding set, Markov partitions and induced Markov maps are constructed, which are then used to study statistical properties of expanding measures.
