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.

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.

AbstractA natural geometrical representation of the geodesic flow on a surface M of constant negative curvature is given in which the base transformation is the shift on a (finite type) space of shortest words relative to a fixed generating set for π1(M) and the height function is the hyperbolic distance across a fundamental region for π1(M). This representation is obtained by comparing cutting sequences on M with generalised continued fraction expansions of endpoints on ℝ

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.

AbstractWe consider Anosov flows on closed 3-manifolds which are circle bundles. Our main result is that, up to a finite covering, these flows are topologically equivalent to the geodesic flow of a suface of constant negative curvature. The same method shows that, if M is a closed hyperbolic manifold of any dimension, all the geodesic flows which correspond to different metrics on M and which are of Anosov type are topologically equivalent.

It is shown that systems with hyperbolic structure have the Bernoulli property. Some new results on smooth cross-sections of hyperbolic Bernoulli flows are also derived. The proofs involve an abstract version of our original methods for showing that the geodesic flow on surfaces of negative curvature are Bernoulli.
