  1. Entropy production and folding of the phase space in chaotic dynamics.

    Abstract

    We study the entropy production of Gibbs (equilibrium) measures for chaotic
    dynamical systems with folding of the phase space. The dynamical chaotic model
    is that generated by a hyperbolic non-invertible map $f$ on a general basic
    (possibly fractal) set $\Lambda$; the non-invertibility creates new phenomena
    and techniques than in the diffeomorphism case. We prove a formula for the
    \textit{entropy production}, involving an asymptotic logarithmic degree, with
    respect to the equilibrium measure $\mu_\phi$ associated to the potential
    $\phi$.

  2. Isomorphism classes for certain expanding maps and their group extensions.

    Abstract

    We show that expanding toral endomorphisms, together with their respective
    Lebesgue measure are isomorphic to 1-sided Bernoulli shifts. This result is
    then extended to smooth perturbations of expanding toral endomorphisms,
    together with their respective measures of maximal entropy. Also we study group
    extensions of expanding toral endomorphisms and show that under certain, not
    too restrictive conditions on the extension cocycle, these skew products are
    1-sided Bernoulli as well.

  3. On a class of stable conditional measures for endomorphisms.

    Abstract

    We study stable conditional measures for a certain equilibrium measure for
    hyperbolic endomorphisms, on basic sets with overlaps; we show that these
    conditional measures are geometric probabilities and measures of maximal stable
    dimension. They are also proved to be absolutely continuous if and only if the
    respective basic set is a folded repellor. Examples of such non-reversible
    systems and their associated measures are given too.

  4. Unstable directions and dimension for a class of skew products with overlaps.

    Authors: Eugen Mihailescu
    Subjects: Dynamical Systems
    Abstract

    We study a class of skew products with overlaps in fibers and show that in
    this case the unstable manifolds really depend on prehistories, even for
    perturbations of the original maps. We also give several results about the
    Hausdorff dimension of the fibers of the respective locally maximal invariant
    set, by using the inverse pressure, the thickness of Cantor sets and some
    bounds for the preimage counting function.

  5. Invariant measures involving local inverse iterates.

    Abstract

    We study some new invariant measures arising from local inverse iterates.
    Examples are also given.
