Abstract
We consider the topological category of various subsets of the set of expanding maps from a manifold to itself, and show in particular that a generic $C^1$ expanding map of the circle has no absolutely continuous invariant probability measure. This is in contrast with the situation for $C^2$ or $C^{1+ε}$ expanding maps, for which it is known that there is always a unique absolutely continuous invariant probability measure.
