We consider the set of $C^1$ maps $f:M\\to M$ which have no absolutely continuous (with respect to Lebesgue) invariant probability measure. We show that this is a residual (dense $G_\\delta) set in the $C^1$ topology. In the course of the proof, we need a generalization of the usual Rokhlin tower lemma to non-invariant measures. That result may be of independent interest.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-10-18T16:18:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37C40" ], "keywords": [ "absolutely continuous invariant probability measure", "usual rokhlin tower lemma", "smooth compact manifold" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
