Abstract

For a generic skew product with the fiber a circle over an Anosov diffeomorphism, we prove that the Milnor attractor coincides with the statistical attractor, is Lyapunov stable, and either has zero Lebesgue measure or coincides with the whole phase space. As a consequence, we conclude that such skew product is either transitive or has non-wandering set of zero measure. The result is proved under the assumption that the fiber maps preserve the orientation of the circle, and the skew product is partially hyperbolic.

Notes

  1. This lemma is a slightly improved version of the following statement by S. Minkov: if the Milnor attractor has positive measure, the attractor of the inverse diffeomorphism either has positive measure or is Lyapunov unstable.
