Lyapunov optimizing measures for C 1 expanding maps of the circle Oliver Jenkinson and Ian D. Morris Abstract. For a generic C 1 expanding map of the circle, the Lyapunov maximizing measure is unique, fully supported, and has zero entropy. 1. Introduction Let T : T T be a C 1 expanding self-map of the circle T = R/Z, and let MT denote the set of T -invariant Borel probability measures. For any µ MT, its Lyapunov exponent λ T µ is defined by λ T µ = log T dµ. Any m MT satisfying λ T m = sup λ T µ =: λ + T µ MT is called a Lyapunov maximizing measure for T. Similarly, any m MT satisfying λ T m = inf µ MT λ T µ is called a Lyapunov minimizing measure for T. Since T is C 1 and has no critical points, log T is a continuous function on T, so the functional µ λ T µ is continuous with respect to the weak- topology on MT. Since MT is compact for this topology, it follows that T has both a Lyapunov maximizing and a Lyapunov minimizing measure. In this note we shall be concerned with typical properties of such measures. For simplicity we shall only consider Lyapunov maximizing measures, though all our statements have obvious analogues in the context of Lyapunov minimizing measures; the proofs of these analogues involve only minor modifications of the arguments we present. For any integer r 1, the set T r of C r self-maps of T is complete with respect to the metric d r S, T = max x T r k=0 Sk x T k x. Let E r denote the set of C r expanding self-maps of T, i.e. those T T r such that min x T T x > 1. Since E r is open in T r, it is a Baire space: that is, every countable intersection of open dense subsets of E r is dense in E r. Recall that any set containing a countable intersection of open dense subsets is said to be residual. If the set of those maps in E r satisfying some given property is residual, we say that the property is a generic one in E r, and refer to a generic member of E r i.e. any T E r having the property. It is easy to construct smooth expanding maps whose Lyapunov maximizing measure is unique, and supported on a periodic orbit e.g. T x = 2x + ε sin 2πx mod 1 for small ε > 0. Conjecturally, such maps are generic in E r, whenever r 2: Conjecture 1. For r 2, a generic T E r has a unique Lyapunov maximizing measure, and this measure is supported on a periodic orbit of T. The following result constitutes a weakened version of Conjecture 1: Theorem 1. For r 2, the set of those T E r maximizing measure is an open and dense subset of E r. 1 with no fully supported Lyapunov

2 OLIVER JENKINSON AND IAN D. MORRIS It turns out that the situation for r = 1 is rather different. The main purpose of this article is to establish the following properties of Lyapunov maximizing measures for generic members of E 1 : Theorem 2. A generic member of E 1 has a unique Lyapunov maximizing measure. This measure is fully supported, and of zero entropy. Despite Theorem 2, it is an open problem to explicitly exhibit an expanding map whose Lyapunov maximizing measure is unique and fully supported. The organisation of this article is as follows. After some preliminaries in 2, in 3 we prove that a generic map in E 1 has a unique Lyapunov maximizing measure, and that this measure has zero entropy. In 4 we show that this unique Lyapunov maximizing measure is fully supported. The short proof of Theorem 1 is included as 5. 2. Preliminaries The set E 1 is the disjoint union of the set E+ 1 of orientation-preserving C 1 expanding maps, and the set E 1 of orientation-reversing C 1 expanding maps. Although all results stated in this paper are valid for the set E 1, to economise space we often only prove the analogous result for the set E+, 1 i.e. we assume that expanding maps T satisfy T > 1. In all cases the full proof, covering both T > 1 and T < 1, involves only trivial modifications. Let CT denote the space of continuous real-valued functions defined on T, equipped with the Banach norm f = sup x T fx. For continuous ϕ, ψ : T T, define the metric d 0 ϕ, ψ := max x T ϕx ψx. For each T E 1 we define { } L + T = µ MT : log T dµ = λ + T. As noted previously, L + T is non-empty. As a weak- closed subset of MT, it is also weak- compact. Sigmund [Sig, Lemma 2] proved 1 : Lemma 1. If T E 1, Y T is a proper subinterval of T, and µ MT is such that suppµ Y, then there is a sequence µ i MT, converging to µ in the weak- topology, such that each suppµ i is a periodic orbit disjoint from i=0 T i Y. The following lemma may be deduced from the proof of [KH, Thm. 2.4.6]; for completeness we include a condensed proof. Lemma 2. If T, T i E 1 such that inf i inf x T i x > 1 and d 0T i, T 0 as i, then there exists a sequence of homeomorphisms ξ i : T T such that ξ i T i = T ξ i for all sufficiently large i, and such that d 0 ξ i, id T 0 and d 0 ξ 1 i, id T 0 as i. Proof. If T has degree k > 1 then so does T i for i sufficiently large, and we may assume this is the case for all i. Suppose inf i inf x T i x γ > 1. Choose a fixed point p of T and a sequence of points pi p such that each pi is a fixed point of T i. For each i, n > 0 define A n i = Ti n pi = {a 0 ni, a 1 ni,..., a kn 1 n i}, where a 0 ni = pi for each n, and the points a j ni are listed in order around the circle; for each n > 0 define A n = T n p = {a j n} in the same manner. Note that if j, n are fixed then a j ni a j n as i. Since T i and T are orientation-preserving k-fold self-coverings of the circle, T i a jk+l n+1 i = al ni and T a jk+l n+1 = al n whenever j, n > 0 and 0 l < k see [KH] for a detailed description. Since T i is expanding, sup j a j ni a j+1 n i γ n, so for each i the set n>0 A n i is dense in T. Define ξ i a j ni = a j n for each i, j, n. For each i this defines a strictly monotone orientationpreserving map ξ i between dense subsets of the circle T, which can therefore be extended to 1 Sigmund s article is set in the context of Axiom A diffeomorphisms, though the relevant arguments depend only on Bowen s specification property, which is satisfied by expanding maps of the circle.

LYAPUNOV OPTIMIZING MEASURES 3 a homeomorphism of T. For fixed i > 0, it follows from the relations T i a jk+l n+1 i = al ni and T a jk+l n+1 = al n that ξ i T i = T ξ i on the dense set n>0 A n i, and hence on the whole of T by continuity. We now show that ξ i id T and ξi 1 id T. Given ε > 0, choose N > 0 large enough that γ N < ε, and choose M large enough that sup j a j N i aj N < ε whenever i > M. If i > M and x [a j N i, aj+1 N i], then ξ ix [a j N, aj+1 N ] and ξ i x x ξ i x ξ i a j N i + ξ ia j N i aj N i + aj N i x Similarly if x [a j N, aj+1 N ], then ξ 1 i x [a j N 3ε by the same method. a j N aj+1 N + aj N aj N i + aj N i aj+1 N i < 3ε. i, aj+1 N i] and one may show that ξ 1 i x x < Lemma 3. If T i, T E 1 such that inf i inf x T i x > 1 and d 0T i, T 0 as i, then a Every µ MT is the weak- limit of a sequence {µ i } of T i -invariant measures. b If m i MT i then any weak- accumulation point of the sequence {m i } belongs to MT. Proof. For each i let ξ i : T T be the homeomorphism given by Lemma 2. a Each µ i := µ ξi 1 is T i -invariant, and {µ i } is weak- convergent to µ, since if f : T R is Lipschitz such functions are dense in CT then f dµ i f dµ = f ξ i f dµ f ξ i f lipfd 0 ξ i, id 0. b Without loss of generality, suppose that {m i } is weak- convergent. Each ν i := m i ξ i is T -invariant, and if f is Lipschitz then f dν i f dm i = f ξi 1 dm i f dm i lipfd 0 ξi 1, id 0, so the sequences {m i } and {ν i } are weak- convergent, with the same limit. The limit of {ν i } is T -invariant since MT is weak- closed. For T E 1, its topological entropy h top T is equal to the logarithm of the modulus of the degree of T. For µ MT, let hµ; T denote the entropy of µ with respect to T. Lemma 4. Let T i, T E 1 and suppose that inf i inf x T i x > 1 and d 0T i, T 0 as i. If µ i MT i for each i, and µ i µ MT, then lim sup hµ i ; T i hµ; T. i Proof. By Lemma 2 there exists a sequence of homeomorphisms ξ i : T T such that T i ξ i = ξ i T for i sufficiently large, and such that d 0 id T, ξi 1 0. It follows that µ i ξ i MT and hµ i ; T i = hµ i ξ i ; T, and that lim i µ i = lim i µ i ξ i = µ. By the upper semi-continuity of the entropy map m hm; T see e.g. [New], it follows that lim sup i hµ i ; T i = lim sup hµ i ξ i ; T hµ; T. i Lemma 5. Suppose T i T in E 1. If m is any weak- accumulation point of a sequence m i L + T i, then m L + T. Proof. Without loss of generality, suppose that m i m. By Lemma 3 b, m MT. If µ MT is arbitrary, then by Lemma 3 a there exists a sequence µ i MT i such that

4 OLIVER JENKINSON AND IAN D. MORRIS µ i µ. Therefore, writing f = log T and f i = log T i, f dm f dµ = f dm f dm i + f dm i f i dm i + f i dm i f i dµ i + f i dµ i f dµ i + f dµ i f dµ. The term f i dm i f i dµ i is non-negative since m i is Lyapunov maximizing for T i, while the other four terms on the right-hand side of the above equation tend to zero as i. Letting i gives f dm f dµ as required. Lemma 6. Let U be an open sub-interval of T, and suppose c U. For any A, B, ε > 0 there exists a C function ε : T R such that ε 0 on T \ U, 1 ε c = 0, 2 max x T εx B, 3 max x T εx = εc = e ε 1A, 4 min x T εx > B. 5 Proof. Without loss of generality suppose that c = 0, and that b, b is a ball of radius b contained in U. Define ε 0 on T \ b, b T \ U, so 1 holds. Define the C function h : R R by { exp 1/x if x > 0 hx = 0 if x 0. Define ε on b, b by where and ε x = B hx + b hb x g ε x, g ε x = tanhb ε x, b ε = eε 1A Bhb 2. Clearly the function ε is C, and ε 0 = 0, so 2 is satisfied. If x b, b then maxx + b, b x < 1 since necessarily b < 1/2. It follows that maxhx + b, hb x < e 1, and in particular hx + bhb x < 1. Moreover g ε < 1, so ε < B on b, b, and since ε is identically zero on T \ b, b then 3 holds. Now εx = eε 1A hb 2 tanh b ε xhx + bhb x + Bg ε x [ h x + bhb x hx + bh b x ], 6 and since g ε 0 = 0 then max x T εx = ε0 = e ε 1A, so 4 holds. It remains to verify 5. Suppose x b, 0, so that g ε x < 0, and since h, h and g ε are all positive on b, b, from 6 we see that εx > Bg ε xh x + bhb x. 7

LYAPUNOV OPTIMIZING MEASURES 5 Now 0 < b x < 1, so hb x < e 1 < 1. Since 0 < x + b < 1, a short calculation shows that h x + b < e 1 < 1. Moreover g ε x > 1, so 7 implies εx > B. 8 An analogous calculation establishes 8 for x 0, b, so 5 is proved. Lemma 7. Let T E 1, with z 0 a point of least period p under T. If κ > 0 and 0 < ε < 1 then for every sufficiently small δ > 0 there exists T δ E 1 such that if then: g δ x := ε 1 log T δ x T x i T j z 0 = T j δ z 0 for 0 j p 1 ii d 1 T, T δ C T ε iii d 0 T, T δ δ iv sup x g δ x 1 + κ 8 v g δ T j δ z 0 = 1 for 0 j p 1 vi g δ x = 0 whenever min 0 j<p dx, T j δ z 0 > δ vii inf x T δ x γ > 1. Here γ > 1 and C T > 0 are constants depending only on T. Proof. For j = 0,..., p 1, let U j δ be the open interval centred at T j z 0 with radius δ, where δ < ε < 1 is chosen sufficiently small that U j δ U δ k = when j k. For every 0 j < p, let j ε,δ be the C function given by Lemma 6, with A = T T j z 0, c = T j z 0, U = U j δ and B = δ. Define p 1 T δ = T + j ε,δ, and note using 2 that T δ T j z 0 = T T j z 0 for all 0 j p 1 so that i is satisfied. Since T δ T on T \ p 1 j=0 U j δ by 1, vi is satisfied also. Using the pairwise disjointness of the intervals U j δ together with 3, 4 and 5 it follows easily that j=0 d 0 T δ, T δ < ε, T δ T e ε 1 T 3ε T using that δ < ε < 1, so properties ii and iii follow. Using 4 and i, for each 0 j p 1 we have εg δ T j δ z 0 = log 1 + j ε,δ T j z 0 T T j z 0 = log 1 + eε 1T T j z 0 T T j = ε, z 0

6 OLIVER JENKINSON AND IAN D. MORRIS which gives v. If δ is chosen small enough such that if 0 j p 1 then T x > 1 + εκ 8 1 T T j z 0 whenever x U j δ, then for each such x, using 4, we have εg δ x = log 1 + j ε,δ x T x < log 1 + 1 + εκ j ε,δ T j z 0 8 T T j z 0 = log 1 + 1 + εκ e ε 1 8 < ε + log 1 + εκ < ε 1 + κ, 8 8 which together with vi yields iv. Lastly, if we define γ = inf x T x > 1, then T δ x γ δ for all x T by 5, and so it follows that inf x T δ x 1 + γ/2 > 1 for all sufficiently small δ, which is vii. This clearly also implies that T δ E 1 as required. 3. Generic uniqueness and zero entropy Let M be the set of all Borel probability measures on T. Throughout this section, fix a metric ϱ on M which generates the weak- topology, and satisfies the property ϱ1 βµ + βν, µ β 9 for every µ, ν M and β [0, 1]. For example if the sequence f k CT \ {0} is dense in CT, then f k dµ 1 f k dµ 2 ϱµ 1, µ 2 = 2 k+1 f k is such a metric. For each κ > 0, define { R κ = T E 1 : diam ϱ L + T < κ and sup } µ L + T hµ; T < κ. h top T k=1 We will show that the set n=1 R 1/n is residual in E 1, thereby proving the entropy and uniqueness statements of Theorem 2. To establish this, it suffices to prove Lemma 8 and Proposition 1 below. Lemma 8. For each κ > 0 the set R κ is open in E 1. Proof. Let T R κ, and suppose that T n T in E 1. We then have h top T n = h top T for all large enough n. By Lemma 5, if µ 1 n, µ 2 n are convergent sequences of measures such that µ i n L + T n for each n, then lim n µ 1 n, lim n µ 2 n L + T and hence ϱµ 1 n, µ 2 n < κ for all sufficiently large n. It follows that diam ϱ L + T n < κ for all large enough n. Using the compactness of L + T n and the upper semi-continuity of the entropy map m hm; T n, we can for each n choose µ n L + T n such that hµ n ; T n = sup hν; T n. ν L + T n If µ is any weak- accumulation point of the measures µ n, then µ L + T by Lemma 5, hence hµ; T < κh top T, since T R κ. Lemma 4 then implies that lim sup n sup ν L + T n hν; T n hµ; T < κh top T, and we conclude that T n R κ for all sufficiently large n.

LYAPUNOV OPTIMIZING MEASURES 7 Proposition 1. For each κ > 0, the set R κ is dense in E 1. Proof. Let T E 1 and κ > 0, 0 < ε < 1. We will construct T δ E 1 such that d 1 T, T δ C T ε and T δ R κ ; the map T δ will be as in Lemma 7 for some sufficiently small δ > 0. Recall that measures supported on periodic orbits are dense in M T see [Sig]. We may therefore choose a periodic point z 0, of least period p, say, with orbit O := {T j z 0 : 0 j p 1}, such that 1 p 1 log T T j z 0 > λ + T κε p 8. Define j=0 p 1 µ = 1 δ p T j z 0, j=0 and note that µ MT MT δ for all δ > 0 as a consequence of Lemma 7i. Using Lemma 7v, for each δ > 0 we have λ + T δ log T δ dµ = log T dµ + ε g δ dµ > λ + T + ε 1 κ. 10 8 We claim that if δ k k 1 is a strictly decreasing sequence of positive reals, and ν is a weak- limit of a sequence ν k k 1 such that each ν k L + T δk, then ϱν, µ < κ/2 and hν; T < κ. Note that by Lemma 7vii, inf k inf x T δ k x > 1 and so Lemmas 3 and 4 may be applied in the limit k. Observe now that ν MT as a consequence of Lemma 7iii and Lemma 3. For each k > 0, λ + T δk = log T δ k dν k = log T dν k + ε g δk dν k. Evidently, lim log T dν k = log T dν λ + T, k and so for all sufficiently large k, ε g δk dν k λ + T δk λ + T εκ 8. It follows from this and 10 that for large enough k, ε g δk dν k ε 1 κ 4. 11 For each k > 0, let U k denote the open δ k -neighbourhood of O. Using Lemma 7iv and vi together with 11, it follows that ν k U k 1 + κ 1 g δk dν k = 1 + κ 1 g δk dν k 8 U k 8 > 1 κ 1 κ > 1 3 4 8 8 κ for all large enough k. Since the sequence δ k k 1 is strictly decreasing, U k+1 U k for every k. It follows that for every sufficiently large integer l, and k > l, ν k Ul νk Uk νk U k 1 3 8 κ. Letting k then yields ν 3 U l lim sup ν k Ul 1 k 8 κ.

8 OLIVER JENKINSON AND IAN D. MORRIS Hence, νo = ν U l 1 3 8 κ. l>0 Since O is a uniquely ergodic set and ν MT, the ergodic decomposition theorem implies that ν = 1 3 8 κµ + 3 8κˆµ for some ˆµ MT. In particular it follows using 9 that lim ϱν k, µ = ϱν, µ 3 k 8 κ 12 and by virtue of Lemma 4, lim sup hν k ; T δk hν; T. k Now µ is a periodic orbit measure, so hµ; T = 0, and therefore hν; T = 1 38 κ hµ; T + 3 8 hˆµ; T = 3 8 κhˆµ; T 3 8 κh topt, 13 by the variational principle. So we have shown that 12 and 13 hold whenever ν is a weak- accumulation point as δ 0 of the sets L + T δ. Consequently, for all sufficiently small δ > 0, diam ϱ L + T δ < κ, and sup hm; T δ < κh top T = κh top T δ. m L + T δ In other words, T δ R κ. Since d 1 T, T δ C T ε for every δ > 0, this completes the proof. 4. Generic full support To establish the fully supported part of Theorem 2 we now prove the following: Proposition 2. {T E 1 : suppµ = T for all µ L + T } is residual in E 1. Proof. For any proper closed subset Y of T, define M 1 Y := { T E 1 : some µ L + T has suppµ Y }. We claim that each such M 1 Y is a closed subset of E 1 with empty interior. Once the claim is established, it will imply the proposition, since if {Y i } is an enumeration of those proper closed subintervals of T with rational endpoints, then i M 1 Y i c is equal to the set {T E 1 : suppµ = T for all µ L + T }. To prove the claim we first show that M 1 Y is closed. For this, suppose that T i T in E 1, where each T i M 1 Y, and let µ i L + T i be such that suppµ i Y. By Lemma 5, any weak- accumulation point µ of {µ i } is Lyapunov maximizing for T. If µ in µ as n then since Y is closed, µy lim n µ in Y = 1 see e.g. [Bil, Thm. 2.1]. Therefore suppµ Y, and hence T M 1 Y, so M 1 Y is indeed closed. Now we show that M 1 Y has empty interior in E 1. If M 1 Y is empty then there is nothing to check, so suppose T M 1 Y. Given 0 < ε < 1, we will construct ˆT E 1 \M 1 Y such that d 1 T, ˆT < C T ε, where C T > 0 is as in Lemma 7. Note that any T -invariant measure carried 2 by Y is in fact carried by i=0 T i Y. Let 0 < ε < 1 be arbitrary. By Lemma 1 there is a T -periodic orbit {x 1,..., x p } i.e. T x i = x i+1 for 1 i p 1 and T x p = x 1 which is disjoint from the T -invariant set i=0 T i Y, with 1 p p log T x i > λ + T ε. 14 i=1 2 We say a probability measure is carried by a set whenever its support is contained in that set.

LYAPUNOV OPTIMIZING MEASURES 9 Choose N > 0 such that the orbit {x 1,..., x p } is disjoint from the set Y N := N i=0 T i Y, and for each δ > 0 define N Y N,δ := ˆT i Y, d 0 ˆT,T δ i=0 where the union is taken over all ˆT E 1 such that d 0 ˆT, T δ. Note that δ>0 Y N,δ = Y N. Now let T δ E 1 be the map given by Lemma 7, with z 0 = x 1, κ = 1 and δ > 0 chosen small enough that inf y Y N,δ inf dx i, y > δ. 15 1 i p By Lemma 7i, {x 1,..., x p } is a periodic orbit for T δ as well as for T, and Lemma 7iii,vi together with 15 ensures that T δ T on Y N,δ. It follows that any µ MT δ which is carried by Y must be carried by N i=0 T i δ Y, and hence by Y N,δ. Moreover, a probability measure carried by Y N,δ is T -invariant if and only if it is T δ -invariant. We now claim that any T δ -invariant probability measure carried by Y cannot be Lyapunov maximizing for T δ, thus T δ / M 1 Y. Indeed if ν MT δ is carried by Y then it is carried by Y N,δ, hence log T δ dν = log T dν + ε g δ dν = log T dν λ + T, 16 since g δ 0 on suppν Y N,δ, and because ν is also T -invariant. The inequality 14, together with Lemma 7v, gives λ + T < 1 p log T x i + ε = 1 p log T δ p p x i, i=1 so combining with 16 yields log T δ dν λ+ T < 1 p i=1 p log T δ x i, and since {x 1,..., x p } is T δ -periodic we see that ν is not Lyapunov maximizing for T δ. By Lemma 7ii we have d 1 T δ, T C T ε; since ε was chosen arbitrarily in 0, 1, it follows that M 1 Y has empty interior in E 1. Remark 1. The proof of Proposition 2 resembles the proof that, for a fixed expanding map T, a generic function f CT has all its maximizing measures of full support see [BJ]; by a maximizing measure we mean an m MT such that f dm = sup µ MT f dµ. 5. Generic properties in higher differentiability classes For completeness we now include the short proof of Theorem 1, concerning Lyapunov maximizing measures for generic members of E r, r 2. Proof of Theorem 1. If T E r then log T is Hölder, so by [CLT, Thm. 4] there exists ϕ CT such that log T + ϕ ϕ T λ + T, therefore the Lyapunov maximizing measures for T are precisely those whose support lies in the set Z = {x T : log T + ϕ ϕ T x = λ + T }. Thus T has a fully supported Lyapunov maximizing measure if and only if Z = T, in which case all the T -invariant measures have identical Lyapunov exponent λ + T necessarily equal to log k where T has degree ±k. The set F r of those T E r for which all invariant measures have identical Lyapunov exponent is easily shown to be closed in E r, using Lemma 5. It also has empty interior: any T F r can be E r -perturbed to a map where the Lyapunov exponent of some fixed point measure differs from that of some period-2 orbit measure, say. i=1

10 OLIVER JENKINSON AND IAN D. MORRIS Remark 2. a In fact Theorem 1 is also true, with an almost identical proof, if E r is replaced by E r,α, consisting of those T E r whose r-th derivative is α-hölder, for r 1, α 0, 1]. b Contreras, Lopes & Thieullen [CLT, Thm. 2] have proved a related result, in the spirit of Conjecture 1, concerning the subspace E 1,α+ := β>α E 1,β of E 1,α : the set of those T E 1,α+ with a unique Lyapunov maximizing measure, supported on a periodic orbit, is open and dense in E 1,α+ with respect to the topology of E 1,α. c By analogy with Conjecture 1, it seems likely that for all r 1, α 0, 1], a generic T E r,α has a unique Lyapunov maximizing measure, supported on a periodic orbit. 6.
