"Decay of correlations for fiber contracting maps"

Abstract:
We shall discuss a class of fiber contracting maps on the square that 
contains the first return map of a Lorenz-like flow. We prove that this 
class of maps has exponential decay of correlations. We apply this 
result to get a log law for the hitting time associated of a Lorenz-like 
flow.
