Statistical stability of physical measures in U\mathcal{U}

Let U\mathcal{U} be the open family of maps considered in the paper, and let fnf_n be CC^\infty dynamics in U\mathcal{U} with physical measures μn\mu_n. Suppose that fnf_n converges to fUf\in\mathcal{U} in a CrC^r topology, where 2r2\leq r\leq\infty, and let weak convergence refer to convergence of probability measures. Statistical stability conjecture. The physical measures of the CC^\infty dynamics in U\mathcal{U} are statistically stable: whenever μn\mu_n is the physical measure for fnf_n, the sequence μn\mu_n weakly converges to an ff-invariant probability measure μ\mu that is also a physical measure for ff. Statistical stability would describe the continuity of physical measures under perturbations within the open family, conditional in the source on positive answers to the preceding conjectures.
