On physical measures of multi-singular hyperbolic vector fields

Abstract

Bonatti and da Luz have introduced the class of \emph{multi-singular hyperbolic} vector fields to characterize systems whose periodic orbits and singularities do not bifurcate under perturbation (called star vector fields). In this paper, we study the Sina\"ı-Ruelle-Bowen measures for multi-singular hyperbolic vector fields: in a $C^1$ open and $C^1$ dense subset of multi-singular hyperbolic vector fields, each {$C^{\infty }$} one admits \emph{finitely} many physical measures whose basins cover a \emph{full} Lebesgue measure subset of the manifold. Similar results are also obtained for $C^1$ generic multi-singular hyperbolic vector fields.
