Statistical stability of geometric Lorenz attractors

Abstract

We consider the robust family of geometric Lorenz attractors. These attractors are chaotic, in the sense that they are transitive and have sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Moreover, they support SRB measures whose ergodic basins cover a full Lebesgue measure subset of points in the topological basin of attraction. Here we prove that the SRB measures depend continuously on the dynamics in the weak∗ topology.
