Abstract
We prove the existence of equilibrium states for partially hyperbolic endomorphisms with
one-dimensional center bundle. We also prove, regarding a class of potentials, the uniqueness
of such measures for endomorphisms defined on the 2-torus that: have a linear model as
a factor; and with the condition that this measure gives zero weight to the set where the
conjugacy with the linear model fails to be invertible. In particular, we obtain the uniqueness
of the measure of maximal entropy. For the n-torus, the uniqueness in the case with one-
dimensional center holds for absolutely partially hyperbolic maps with additional hypotheses
on the invariant leaves, namely, dynamical coherence and quasi-isometry. We provide an
example satisfying these hypotheses.
