    Abstract

    We consider the dynamics of smooth covering maps of the circle with a single critical point of order greater than 1. By directly specifying the combinatorics of the critical orbit, we show that for an uncountable number of combinatorial equivalence classes of such maps, there is no periodic attractor nor an ergodic absolutely continuous invariant probability measure.
