Modulus of continuity of averages of SRB measures for a transversal family of piecewise expanding unimodal maps

Let $f_t:[0,1] \to [0,1]$ be a family of piecewise expanding unimodal maps with a common critical point that is dense for almost all $t \in [a,b]$. If $μ_t$ is the corresponding SRB measure for $f_t$, we study the regularity of $Γ(t)=\int ϕdμ_t$ when assuming that the family is transversal to the topological classes of these maps, more precisely, we prove that if $J_t(c)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{v_t(f_t^k(c))}{Df_t^k(f_t(c))} \neq 0$ for all $t$, where $v_t(x)=\partial_s f_s(x)|_{s=t}$, then $Γ(t)$ is not Lipschitz for almost all $t\in [a,b]$. Furthermore, we give the exact modulus of continuity of $Γ(t)$.
