 In this talk, we will study random dynamical systems of smooth surface diffeomorphisms. Aaron Brown and Federico Rodriguez Hertz showed that, in this setting, hyperbolic stationary measures have the SRB property, except when certain obstructions occur. Here, the SRB property essentially means that the measure is absolutely continuous along certain “nice” curves (unstable manifolds). In this talk, we want to understand conditions that guarantee that SRB stationary measures are absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure of the ambient space. Our approach is inspired by Tsujii's “transversality” method, which he used to show Palis conjecture for partially hyperbolic endomorphisms. This is a joint work with Aaron Brown, Homin Lee and Yuping Ruan.
