چکیده

It is known that the topological entropy for the geodesic flow on a Riemannian manifoldM is bounded if the absolute value of sectional curvature |KM | is bounded. We replace this condition by the condition of Ricci curvature and injectivity radius.

ENTROPY OF GEODESIC FLOWS ON SUBSPACES OF HECKE SURFACE WITH ARITHMETIC CODE

There are dierent ways to code the geodesic flows on surfaces with negative curvature. Such code spaces give a useful tool to verify the dynamical properties of geodesic flows. Here we consider special subspaces of geodesic flows on Hecke surface whose arithmetic codings varies on a set with innite alphabet. Then we will compare the topological complexity of them by computing their topological ...

C∞ Genericity of Positive Topological Entropy for Geodesic Flows on S

We show that there is a C∞ open and dense set of positively curved metrics on S2 whose geodesic flow has positive topological entropy, and thus exhibits chaotic behavior. The geodesic flow for each of these metrics possesses a horseshoe and it follows that these metrics have an exponential growth rate of hyperbolic closed geodesics. The positive curvature hypothesis is required to ensure the ex...

Symbolic Dynamics for Three Dimensional Flows with Positive Topological Entropy

We construct symbolic dynamics on sets of full measure (with respect to an ergodic measure of positive entropy) for C1+ε flows on closed smooth three dimensional manifolds. One consequence is that the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of a closed C∞ surface has at least const×(ehT /T ) simple closed orbits of period less than T , whenever the topological entropy h is positive – and witho...

Existence and Uniqueness of the Gradient Flow of the Entropy in the Space of Probability Measures

After a brief introduction on gradient flows in metric spaces and on geodesically convex functionals, we give an account of the proof (following the outline of [3, 7]) of the existence and uniqueness of the gradient flow of the Entropy in the space of Borel probability measures over a compact geodesic metric space with Ricci curvature bounded from below.

Geodesic Flows with Positive Topological Entropy, Twist Maps and Hyperbolicity

We prove a perturbation lemma for the derivative of geodesic flows in high dimension. This implies that a C generic riemannian metric has a non-trivial hyperbolic basic set in its geodesic flow.
