Inverse SRB measures for endomorphisms on surfaces

Abstract

We extend D. Burguet's construction of SRB measures for the non invertible scenario obtaining hyperbolic invariant measures with absolutely continuous disintegrations on stable manifolds for a certain class of endomorphisms on the two torus. The constructed measures maximize the folding entropy, in particular, one may obtain such SRB measures for conservative perturbations of the examples given by M. Andersson, P. Carrasco and R. Saghin for which the Lebesgue measure does not maximize the folding entropy. This way, we obtain examples of topologically mixing maps with at least two inverse SRB measures. In the case of inverse SRB measures that maximize the folding entropy, we give criteria for uniqueness.
