Abstract
We present examples of partially hyperbolic and topologically transitive local diffeomorphisms defined as skew products over a horseshoe which exhibit rich phase transitions for the topological pressure. This phase transition follows from a gap in the spectrum of the central Lyapunov exponents. It is associated with the coexistence of two equilibrium states with positive entropy. The diffeomorphisms mix hyperbolic behaviour of different types. However, in some sense the expanding behaviour is not dominating which is indicated by the existence of a measure of maximal entropy with nonpositive central exponent.
