In this paper we prove the following rigidity result: let ${\it\varphi}$ be a $C^{\infty }$ topologically mixing transversely symplectic Anosov flow. If (i) its weak stable and weak unstable distributions are $C^{\infty }$ and (ii) its Hamenstädt metrics are sub-Riemannian, then up to finite covers and a constant change of time scale, ${\it\varphi}$ is $C^{\infty }$ flow conjugate to the geodesic flow of a closed locally symmetric Riemannian space of rank one.

Abstract We derive approximate formulas for the logarithmic derivative of the Selberg and the Ruelle zeta functions over compact, even-dimensional, locally symmetric spaces of real rank one. The obtained formulas are given in terms of zeta singularities.

AbstractThe Livshitz theorem reported in 1971 asserts that any C1 function having zero integrals over all periodic orbits of a topologically transitive Anosov flow is a derivative of another C1 function in the direction of the flow. Similar results for functions of higher differentiability have also appeared since. In this paper we prove a ‘finite version’ of the Livshitz theorem for a certain class of Anosov flows on 3-dimensional manifolds which include geodesic flows on negatively curved surfaces as a special case.

The aim of this paper is to study the spectrum of the$L^{p}$Laplacian and the dynamics of the$L^{p}$heat semigroup on non-compact locally symmetric spaces of higher rank. Our work here generalizes previously obtained results in the setting of locally symmetric spaces of rank one to higher rank spaces. Similarly as in the rank-one case, it turns out that the$L^{p}$heat semigroup on$M$has a certain chaotic behavior if$p\in (1,2)$, whereas for$p\geq 2$such chaotic behavior never occurs.
