چکیده
We consider volume-preserving perturbations of the time-one map of the geodesic flow of a compact surface with negative curvature. We show that if the Liouville measure has Lebesgue disintegration along the center foliation then the perturbation is itself the time-one map of a smooth volume-preserving flow, and that otherwise the disintegration is necessarily atomic.

متن کاملRigidity of Equality of Lyapunov Exponents for Geodesic Flows
We study the relationship between the Lyapunov exponents of the geodesic flow of a closed negatively curved manifold and the geometry of the manifold. We show that if each periodic orbit of the geodesic flow has exactly one Lyapunov exponent on the unstable bundle then the manifold has constant negative curvature. We also show under a curvature pinching condition that equality of all Lyapunov e...

متن کاملGeometric approach to Lyapunov analysis in Hamiltonian dynamics.
As is widely recognized in Lyapunov analysis, linearized Hamilton's equations of motion have two marginal directions for which the Lyapunov exponents vanish. Those directions are the tangent one to a Hamiltonian flow and the gradient one of the Hamiltonian function. To separate out these two directions and to apply Lyapunov analysis effectively in directions for which Lyapunov exponents are not...
متن کاملLyapunov Exponents and Smooth Ergodic Theory
This book provides a systematic introduction to smooth ergodic theory, including the general theory of Lyapunov exponents, nonuniform hyperbolic theory, stable manifold theory emphasizing absolute continuity of invariant foliations, and the ergodic theory of dynamical systems with nonzero Lyapunov exponents. The book can be used as a primary textbook for a special topics course on nonuniform hy...
