AbstractKifer and Ledrappier have asked whether the harmonic measures {νx} on manifolds of negative curvature are equivalent to the conditional measures of the harmonic measure v of the geodesic flow associated with the fibration {SxM}x∈M. We settle this question with a rigidity result. We also clear up the same problem concerning the Patterson-Sullivan measure and the Bowen–Margulis measure.

A Riemannian manifold $M$ has higher hyperbolic rank if every geodesic has a perpendicular Jacobi field making sectional curvature $-1$ with the geodesic. If, in addition, the sectional curvatures of $M$ lie in the interval $[-1,-\frac{1}{4}]$ and $M$ is closed, we show that $M$ is a locally symmetric space of rank one. This partially extends work by Constantine using completely different methods. It is also a partial counterpart to Hamenstädt’s hyperbolic rank rigidity result for sectional curvatures $\leq -1$, and complements well-known results on Euclidean and spherical rank rigidity.

AbstractIn this work we study the geodesic flow on n-dimensional ideal polyhedra and establish classical (for manifolds of negative curvature) results concerning the distribution of closed orbits of the flow.

In this paper we develop a notion of Gibbs measure for the geodesic flow tangent to a foliated bundle over a compact negatively curved base. We also develop a notion of$F$-harmonic measure and prove that there exists a natural bijective correspondence between these two concepts. For projective foliated bundles with$\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{1}$-fibers without transverse invariant measure, we show the uniqueness of these measures for any Hölder potential on the base. In that case we also prove that$F$-harmonic measures are realized as weighted limits of large balls tangent to the leaves and that their conditional measures on the fibers are limits of weighted averages on the orbits of the holonomy group.

In this paper we define a notion of Gibbs measure for the geodesic flow tangent to a foliation with negatively curved leaves and associated to a particular potential $H$. We prove that there is a canonical bijective correspondence between these measures and Garnett’s harmonic measures.

The primary purpose of this paper is to give an affirmative answer to a problem posed by Ohtsuka [13] whether there exists a p-harmonic measure on the unit disc in the 2-dimensional Euclidean space R2 with an infinite p-Dirichlet integral for the exponent 1 < p < 2.

AbstractWe study the ergodic properties of a class of dynamical systems with infinite invariant measure. This class contains skew-products of Anosov systems with ℝd. The results are applied to theKproperty of skew-products and also to the ergodicity of the geodesic flow on abelian coverings of compact manifolds with constant negative curvature.

AbstractFried has related closed orbits of the geodesic flow of a surface S of constant negative curvature to the R-torsion for a unitary representation of the fundamental group of the unit tangent bundle T1S. In this paper we extend those results to transitive Anosov flows and 2-dimensional attractors on 3-manifolds.
