Abstract We explore new connections between the dynamics of conservative partially hyperbolic systems and the geometric measure-theoretic properties of their invariant foliations. Our methods are applied to two main classes of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms: fibered partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms and center-fixing partially hyperbolic systems. When the center is one-dimensional, assuming the diffeomorphism is accessible, we prove that the disintegration of the volume measure along the center foliation is either atomic or Lebesgue. Moreover, the latter case is rigid in dimension three (this does not require accessibility): the center foliation is actually smooth and the diffeomorphism is smoothly conjugate to an explicit rigid model. A partial extension to fibered partially hyperbolic systems with compact fibers of any dimension is also obtained. A common feature of these classes of diffeomorphisms is that the center leaves either are compact or can be made compact by taking an appropriate dynamically defined quotient. For volume-preserving partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms whose center foliation is absolutely continuous, if the generic center leaf is a circle, then every center leaf is compact.

In this paper we address the issues of absolute continuity for the center foliation, as well as the disintegration on the non-absolute continuous case and rigidity of volume-preserving partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms isotopic to a linear Anosov automorphism on $\mathbb{T}^{3}$. It is shown that the disintegration of volume on center leaves for these diffeomorphisms may be neither atomic nor Lebesgue, in contrast to the dichotomy (Lebesgue or atomic) obtained by Avila, Viana and Wilkinson [Absolute continuity, Lyapunov exponents and rigidity I: Geodesic flows. Preprint, 2012, arXiv:1110.2365v2] for perturbations of time-one of geodesic flow. In the case of atomic disintegration of volume on the center leaves of an Anosov diffeomorphism on $\mathbb{T}^{3}$, we show that it has to be one atom per leaf. Moreover, we show that not even a $C^{1}$ center foliation implies a rigidity result. However, for a volume-preserving partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism isotopic to a linear Anosov automorphism, assuming the center foliation is $C^{1}$ and transversely absolutely continuous with bounded Jacobians, we obtain smooth conjugacy to its linearization.

AbstractA partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f$ has the quasi-shadowing property if for any pseudo orbit $\{x_{k}\}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}$, there is a sequence of points $\{y_{k}\}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}$ tracing it in which $y_{k+1}$ is obtained from $f(y_{k})$ by a motion ${\it\tau}$ along the center direction. We show that any partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism has the quasi-shadowing property, and if $f$ has a $C^{1}$ center foliation then we can require ${\it\tau}$ to move the points along the center foliation. As applications, we show that any partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism is topologically quasi-stable under $C^{0}$-perturbation. When $f$ has a uniformly compact $C^{1}$ center foliation, we also give partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism versions of some theorems which hold for uniformly hyperbolic systems, such as the Anosov closing lemma, the cloud lemma and the spectral decomposition theorem.

AbstractWe consider partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. We define the notion of the unstable and stable foliations stably carrying some unique non-trivial homologies. Under this topological assumption, we prove the following two results: if the center foliation is one-dimensional, then the topological entropy is locally a constant; and if the center foliation is two-dimensional, then the topological entropy is continuous on the set of all $C^{\infty }$ diffeomorphisms. The proof uses a topological invariant we introduced, Yomdin’s theorem on upper semi-continuity, Katok’s theorem on lower semi-continuity for two-dimensional systems, and a refined Pesin–Ruelle inequality we proved for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms.

We show the existence and uniqueness of the maximal entropy probability measure for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms which are semiconjugate to non-uniformly expanding maps. Using the theory of projective metrics on cones, we then prove exponential decay of correlations for Hölder continuous observables and the central limit theorem for the maximal entropy probability measure. Moreover, for systems derived from a solenoid, we also prove the statistical stability for the maximal entropy probability measure. Finally, we use such techniques to obtain similar results in a context containing partially hyperbolic systems derived from Anosov.

We prove transitivity for volume-preserving $C^{1+}$ diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^{3}$ which are isotopic to a linear Anosov automorphism along a path of weakly partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms.

We study the local entropy of typical infinite Bowen balls in random dynamical systems, and show the random entropy expansiveness for [Formula: see text] partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with multi one-dimensional centers. Moreover, we consider [Formula: see text] diffeomorphism [Formula: see text] with dominated splitting [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] for every [Formula: see text], and all the Lyapunov exponents are non-negative along [Formula: see text] and non-positive along [Formula: see text], we prove the asymptotically random entropy expansiveness for [Formula: see text].

It has been conjectured that the stably ergodic diffeomorphisms are open and dense in the space of volume-preserving, partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold. In this paper we deal with two recalcitrant examples; the standard map cross Anosov and the ergodic automorphisms of the 4-torus. In both cases we show that they may be approximated by stably ergodic diffeomorphisms which have the stable accessibility property.

In this work we completely classify $C^{\infty }$ conjugacy for smooth conservative (pointwise) partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms homotopic to a linear Anosov automorphism on the 3-torus by its center foliation behavior. We prove that the uniform version of absolute continuity for the center foliation is the natural hypothesis to obtain $C^{\infty }$ conjugacy to its linear Anosov automorphism. Avila, Viana and Wilkinson [Absolute continuity, Lyapunov exponents and rigidity I: Geodesic flows. J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS)17(6) (2015), 1435–1462] proved that for a perturbation in the volume preserving case of the time-one map of an Anosov flow absolute continuity of the center foliation implies smooth rigidity. The absolute version of absolute continuity is the appropriate scenario for our context since it is not possible to obtain a result analogous to that of Avila, Viana and Wilkinson for our class of maps, for absolute continuity alone fails miserably to imply smooth rigidity for our class of maps. Our theorem is a global rigidity result as we do not assume the diffeomorphism to be at some distance from the linear Anosov automorphism. We also do not assume ergodicity. In particular, a metric condition on the center foliation implies ergodicity and $C^{\infty }$ center foliation.
