We prove that every smooth action $\a$ of $\mathbb{Z}^k,k\ge 2$, on the $(k+1)$-dimensional torus whose elements are homotopic to corresponding elements of an action $\a_0$ by hyperbolic linear maps preserves an absolutely continuous measure. This is the first known result concerning abelian groups of diffeomorphisms where existence of an invariant geometric structure is obtained from homotopy data.
We also show that both ergodic and geometric properties of such a measure are very close to the corresponding properties of the Lebesgue measure with respect to the linear action $\a_0$.
