Equilibrium states and SRB-like measures of \(C^1\)-expanding maps of the circle (Q692858)

Summary: For any \(C^1\)-expanding map \(f\) of the circle we study the equilibrium states for the potential \(\psi=-\log |f'|\). We formulate a \(C^1\) generalization of Pesin's entropy formula that holds for all the Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen (SRB) measures if they exist, and for all the (necessarily existing) SRB-like measures. In the \(C^1\)-generic case Pesin's entropy formula holds for a unique SRB measure which is not absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue. The result also stands in the non-generic case for which no SRB measure exists.
