Abstract

In this paper we shall give examples of rational maps on the Riemann sphere and also of polynomial interval maps which are transitive but not ergodic with respect to Lebesgue measure. In fact, these maps have two disjoint compact attractors whose attractive basins are ‘intermingled’, each having a positive Lebesgue measure in every open set. In addition, we show that there exists a real bimodal polynomial with Fibonacci dynamics (of the type considered by Branner and Hubbard), whose Julia set is totally disconnected and has positive Lebesgue measure. Finally, we show that there exists a rational map associated to the Newton iteration scheme corresponding to a polynomial whose Julia set has positive Lebesgue measure.
