Higher-dimensional attractors with absolutely continuous invariant probability

Abstract: Consider a dynamical system $T:\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{R}^{d} \rightarrow \mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{R}^{d} $ given by $ T(x,y) = (E(x), C(y) + f(x))$, where $E$ is a linear expanding map of $\mathbb{T}$, $C$ is a linear contracting map of $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $f$ is in $C^2(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{R}^d)$. We prove that if $T$ is volume expanding and $u\geq d$, then for every $E$ there exists an open set $\mathcal{U}$ of pairs $(C,f)$ for which the corresponding dynamic $T$ admits an absolutely continuous invariant probability. A geometrical characteristic of transversality between self-intersections of images of $\mathbb{T}\times{ 0 }$ is present in the dynamic of the maps in $\mathcal{U}$. In addition, we give a condition between $E$ and $C$ under which it is possible to perturb $f$ to obtain a pair $(C,\tilde{f})$ in $\mathcal{U}$.
