Abstract: We consider two dimensional maps preserving a foliation which is uniformly contracting and a one dimensional associated quotient map having exponential convergence to equilibrium (iterates of Lebesgue measure converge exponentially fast to physical measure). We prove that these maps have exponential decay of correlations over a large class of observables. We use this result to deduce exponential decay of correlations for the Poincare maps of a large class of singular hyperbolic flows. From this we deduce logarithm laws for these flows.

Review text

The paper is devoted to investigation of the statistical properties of skew-product dynamical systems \(F:[0,1]^2\circlearrowleft\) of the form \(F(x,y)=(T(x), G(x,y))\) with the following properties: {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize}\item[(1)] \(F\) is uniformly contracting on each fiber of the natural vertical foliation of the square \([0,1]^2\); \item[(2)] \(G\) has bounded variation in one direction; \item[(3)] \(T:[0,1]\circlearrowleft\) is piecewise monotonic with finite \(C^1\) increasing branches and \(\inf_{x\in[0,1]}| T'(x)|>1\), and \(1/T'\) has finite universal \(p\)-bounded variation; \item[(4)] \(T\) is weakly mixing under unique a.c.i.m. \end{itemize}} For such systems the authors prove the existence of a unique physical measure with exponential decay of correlations with respect to Lipschitz observables. Then this result is applied to suitable Poincaré maps of singular hyperbolic (Lorenz-like) flows to deduce exponential decay of correlations and logarithm law for the hitting times to small targets. See also the erratum to this paper in [ibid. 282, No. 1--2, 615--621 (2016; Zbl 06538600)].
