A generalized push-forward construction of Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen measures
Abstract
For Anosov diffeomorphisms the geometric approach for constructing Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen (SRB) measures works by pushing forward under the dynamics the leaf volume on a local unstable manifold or any measure that is equivalent to the leaf volume. Such a measure is called a reference measure. In applications one often needs to use a reference measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to leaf volume. In this paper we show that a reference measure can be chosen from a substantially more general class of measures which are the restriction of the leaf volume to any measurable subset of a local unstable manifold of positive leaf volume. Moreover, we do this in a more general settings of diffeomorphisms which are effectively hyperbolic on a set of positive volume. Such diffeomorphisms were introduced by Climenhaga, Dolgopyat and Pesin in \cite{CDP} where they used the geometric approach to construct SRB measures. Our results applies also to diffeomorphisms that are uniformly partially hyperbolic or more generally possess a dominated splitting.
