Conjugacies of Expanding Skew Products on $\mathbb{T}^n$

Abstract

We show that any equilibrium state for a H\"older potential on the model map $\vec{x} \mapsto d \cdot \vec{x} \mod \mathbb{Z}^n$ on $\mathbb{T}^n$ is conjugate to Lebesgue measure for an invariant expanding skew product of degree $d$. This is a generalization of a result of McMullen to higher dimensions for equilibrium states. We use an approach developed by the author using a family of nonstationary transfer operators for an expanding skew product. We also apply a Markov partition argument to classify invariant probability measures for expanding maps on $\mathbb{T}^n$.
