Lyapunov Exponents and Smooth Ergodic Theory

چکیده
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 hyperbolicity or as supplementary reading for a basic course on dynamical

متن کاملOn the Work of Dolgopyat on Partial and Nonuniform Hyperbolicity
The paper is a non-technical survey and is aimed to illustrate Dolgopyat’s profound contributions to smooth ergodic theory. I will discuss some of Dolgopyat’s work on partial hyperbolicity and nonuniform hyperbolicity with emphasis on interaction between the two – the class of dynamical systems with mixed hyperbolicity. On the one hand, this includes uniformly partially hyperbolic diffeomorphis...
متن کاملWhat Are Lyapunov Exponents, and Why Are They Interesting?
At the 2014 International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul, South Korea, Franco-Brazilian mathematician Artur Avila was awarded the Fields Medal for “his profound contributions to dynamical systems theory, which have changed the face of the field, using the powerful idea of renormalization as a unifying principle.” Although it is not explicitly mentioned in this citation, there is a second u...
متن کاملExtremal Lyapunov Exponents: an Invariance Principle and Applications
We propose a new approach to analyzing dynamical systems that combine hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic (“center”) behavior, e.g. partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. A number of applications illustrate its power. We find that any ergodic automorphism of the 4-torus with two eigenvalues in the unit circle is stably Bernoulli among symplectic maps. Indeed, any nearby symplectic map has no zero Lyap...
