We consider maps preserving a foliation which is uniformly contracting and a onedimensional associated quotient map having exponential convergence to equilibrium (iterates of Lebesgue measure converge exponentially fast to physical measure). We prove that these maps have exponential decay of correlations over a large class of observables.We use this result to deduce exponential decay of correlations for suitable Poincaré maps of a large class of singular hyperbolic flows. From this we deduce a logarithm law for these flows. -hyperbolic attractor, exponential decay of correlations, exact dimensionality, logarithm law.
