S-unimodal Misiurewicz maps with flat critical points
We consider S-unimodal Misiurewicz maps T with a flat critical point c and show that they exhibit ergodic properties analogous to those of interval maps with indifferent fixed (or periodic) points. Specifically, there is a conservative ergodic absolutely continuous σ-finite invariant measure μ, exact up to finite rotations, and in the infinite measure case the system is pointwise dual ergodic with many uniform and Darling-Kac sets. Determining the order of return distributions to suitable reference...
