Abstract

This paper is about the ergodic theory of attractors and conservative dynamical systems with hyperbolic properties on large parts (though not necessarily all) of their phase spaces. The main results are for discrete time systems. To put this work into context, recall that for Axiom A attractors the picture has been fairly complete since the 1970’s (see [S1], [B], [R2]). Since then much progress has been made on two fronts: there is a general nonuniform theory that deals with properties common to all diffeomorphisms with nonzero Lyapunov exponents ([O], [P1], [Ka], [LY]), and there are detailed analyses of specific kinds of dynamical systems including, for example, billiards, 1-dimensional and Hénon-type maps ([S2], [BSC]; [HK], [J]; [BC2], [BY1]). Statistical properties such as exponential decay of correlations are not enjoyed by all diffeomorphisms with nonzero Lyapunov exponents. The goal of this paper is a systematic understanding of these and other properties for a class of dynamical sys-tems larger than Axiom A. This class will not be defined explicitly, but it includes some of the much studied examples. By looking at regular returns to sets with good
