Statistical stability for Hénon maps of the Benedicks-Carleson type (Q963045)

This paper deals with a family \(\{f_{a,b}\}_{(a,b)\in{\mathcal BC}}\) of Hénon maps in the plane given by \((x,y)\mapsto (1-ax^2+y,bx)\). The parameters \((a,b)\) are allowed in a set \({\mathcal BC}\) where, as shown by Benedicks and Carleson, the Hénon conjecture on the existence of strange attractors holds. The main result of the paper states that the map associating each \((a,b)\in{\mathcal BC}\) to the corresponding Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen (SRB) measure is continuous with respect to the weak-* topology in the space of probability measures.
