Physical measures for partially hyperbolic surface endomorphisms

Abstract

We consider dynamical systems generated by partially hyperbolic surface endomorphisms of class C^r with one-dimensional strongly unstable subbundle. As the main result, we prove that such a dynamical system generically admits finitely many ergodic physical measures whose union of basins of attraction has total Lebesgue measure, provided that r>= 19.
