I think that piecewise expanding maps on the unit interval have been studied. Is there something analogous in dimension 2 with the same good properties? In other words, maybe I want some good results which hold for piecewise expanding maps, and can be extended to higher dimension, such as the results about Perron-Frobenius operators.

  • $\begingroup$ The starting point is a paper by Anderson and Putnam but there's much more to be said after that, e.g. Sadun's work. $\endgroup$

If you are interested in local diffeomorphisms, where the map is continuous everywhere, then Chapters 11 and 12 of the book "Foundations of Ergodic Theory" by Viana and Oliveira has a very good account.

If you want to allow discontinuities, so that the map really is piecewise expanding, then in addition to the paper that Rafael linked to, there is a series of papers by Jerome Buzzi (and some co-authors) from 1997-2003 that would be worth looking at:

Perhaps this paper by P. Eslami will answer your question

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.09245.pdf. Check the references as well.
