Zero Lyapunov Exponents in Transitive Skew-products of Iterated Function Systems

Abstract: We study the class of transitive skew-products associated with iterated function systems of circle diffeomorphisms. We can approximate any transitive skew-product by maps in this class that have a robustly zero Lyapunov exponent. In particular, we prove the existence of non-hyperbolic ergodic measures for an open and dense subset of transitive skew-products. Moreover, these measures have full support and are the weak$^*$ limit of periodic measures.
