Abstract
We study a two-parameter family of one-dimensional maps and the related $(a,b)$-continued fractions suggested for consideration by Don Zagier and announce the following results and outline their proofs: (i) the associated natural extension mapshave attractors with finite rectangular structure for the entire parameter set except for a Cantor-like set of one-dimensional zero measure that we completely describe; (ii) for a dense open set of parameters the Reduction theory conjecture holds, i.e. every point is mapped to the attractor after finitely many iterations.We also give an application of this theory to coding geodesics on the modular surface and outline the computation of the smooth invariant measures associated with these transformations.
