Equilibrium states for maps isotopic to Anosov

Abstract

In this work we address the problem of existence and uniqueness (finiteness) of ergodic equilibrium states for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms isotopic to Anosov on T4, with two-dimensional center foliation. To do so we propose to study the disintegration of measures along one-dimensional subfoliations of the center bundle. Moreover, we obtain a more general result characterizing the disintegration of ergodic measures in our context.
