Uniqueness of equilibrium states for Lorenz attractors in any dimension

Abstract

In this note we consider the thermodynamic formalism for Lorenz attractors of flows in any dimension. Under a mild condition on the Hölder continuous potential function φ, we prove that for an open and dense subset of C 1 vector fields, every Lorenz attractor supports a unique equilibrium state. In particular, we obtain the uniqueness for the measure of maximal entropy.
