In this paper we study the space of smooth functions on the unit tangent bundle SM to a compact negatively curved surface M that are eigenfunctions of the infinitesimal generator of the action of SO(2) on SM, and that have zero integrals over all periodic orbits of the geodesic flow on SM. It is proved that the space of such functions is finite dimensional. In the case of constant negative curvature a complete description of this space is obtained.

AbstractIt is shown that three different notions of regularity for the stable foliation on the unit tangent bundle of a compact manifold of negative curvature are equivalent. Moreover if is a time-preserving conjugacy of geodesic flows of such manifolds M, N then the Lyapunov exponents at corresponding periodic points of the flows coincide. In particular Δ also preserves the Lebesgue measure class.

AbstractWe are concerned with closed C∞ riemannian manifolds of negative curvature whose geodesic flows have C∞ stable and unstable foliations. In particular, we show that the geodesic flow of such a manifold is isomorphic to that of a certain closed riemannian manifold of constant negative curvature if the dimension of the manifold is greater than two and if the sectional curvature lies between − and −1 strictly.

AbstractWe improve and extend a result due to M. Kanai about rigidity of geodesic flows on closed Riemannian manifolds of negative curvature whose stable or unstable horospheric foliation is smooth. More precisely, the main results proved here are: (1) Let M be a closed C∞ Riemannian manifold of negative sectional curvature. Assume the stable or unstable foliation of the geodesic flow φt: V → V on the unit tangent bundle V of M is C∞. Assume, moreover, that either (a) the sectional curvature of M satisfies −4 < K ≤ −1 or (b) the dimension of M is odd. Then the geodesic flow of M is C∞-isomorphic (i.e., conjugate under a C∞ diffeomorphism between the unit tangent bundles) to the geodesic flow on a closed Riemannian manifold of constant negative curvature. (2) For M as above, assume instead of (a) or (b) that dim M ≡ 2(mod 4). Then either the above conclusion holds or φ1, is C∞-isomorphic to the flow , on the quotient Γ\, where Γ is a subgroup of a real Lie group ⊂ Diffeo () with Lie algebra is the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of the complex hyperbolic space ℂHm, m = ½ dim M.

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.

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.

AbstractIn this note we study Borel-probability measures on the unit tangent bundle ofa compact negatively curved manifold M that are invariant under the geodesic flow. We interpret the entropy of such a measure as a Hausdorff dimension with respect to a natural family of distances on the ideal boundary of the universal covering of M. This in term yields necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of time preserving conjugacies of geodesic flows.

Set Of Points

Let $F$ be a nonquasi-unipotent one-parameter (cyclic) subgroup of a unimodular Lie group $G$, $\Gamma$ a discrete subgroup of $G$. We prove that for certain classes of subsets $Z$ of the homogeneous space $G/\Gamma$, the set of points in $G/\Gamma$ with $F$-orbits staying away from $Z$ has full Hausdorff dimension. From this we derive applications to geodesic flows on manifolds of constant negative curvature.
