We classify the measure theoretic attractors of general C 3 unimodal maps with quadratic critical points. The main ingredient is the decay of geometry. 1. Introduction . Statement of results. The study of measure theoretical attractors occupied a central position in the theory of smooth dynamical systems in the 1990s. Recall that a forward invariant compact set A is called a (minimal) metric attractor for some dynamics if the basin of attraction B(A) := {x : ω(x) ⊂ A} of A has positive Lebesgue measure and B(A ) has Lebesgue measure zero for every forward invariant compact set.
