For hyperbolic systems with singularities, such as dispersing billiards, Pesin theory as developed by Katok and Strelcyn applies to measures that are "adapted" in the sense that they do not give too much weight to neighborhoods of the singularity set. The zero-entropy measures supported on grazing periodic orbits are nonadapted, but it has been an open question whether there are nonadapted measures with positive entropy. We construct such measures for any dispersing billiard with a periodic orbit having a single grazing collision; we then use our construction to show that the thermodynamic formalism for such billiards has a phase transition even when one restricts attention to adapted or to positive entropy measures.
