Markov approximations and decay of correlations for Anosov flows
نویسنده
چکیده
We develop Markov approximations for very general suspension flows. Based on this, we obtain a stretched exponential bound on time correlation functions for 3-D Anosov flows that verify ‘uniform nonintegrability of foliations’. These include contact Anosov flows and geodesic flows on compact surfaces of variable negative curvature. Our bound on correlations is stable under small smooth perturbations.

On Contact Anosov Flows
The study of decay of correlations for hyperbolic systems goes back to the work of Sinai [36] and Ruelle [32]. While a manifold of results were obtained thru the years for maps, some positive results have been established for Anosov flows only recently. Notwithstanding the proof of ergodicity, and mixing, for geodesic flows on manifolds of negative curvature [15, 1, 35] the first quantitative r...

متن کاملAnosov Diffeomorphisms and Coupling. Xavier Bressaud and Carlangelo Liverani
We prove the existence of an SRB measure and the exponential decay of correlations for smooth observables for mixing Anosov C di eormorphisms on a d-dimensional (d 2) Riemannian manifold. The novelty lies in the very simple method of proof. We construct explicitly a coupling between two initial densities so that under the action of the di eomorphism, both components get closer and closer. The s...
متن کاملTight contact structures and Anosov flows
In this review, we demonstrate how classic and contemporary results on the classification of tight contact structures apply to the problem of existence and uniqueness of Anosov flows on three-manifolds. The ingredients we use are the results of Mitsumatsu on Anosov flows, the homotopy invariant of plane fields as described by Gompf and others, and certain recent classification results of Giroux...
متن کاملRapid Decay of Correlations for Nonuniformly Hyperbolic Flows
We show that superpolynomial decay of correlations (rapid mixing) is prevalent for a class of nonuniformly hyperbolic flows. These flows are the continuous time analogue of the class of nonuniformly hyperbolic maps for which Young proved exponential decay of correlations. The proof combines techniques of Dolgopyat and operator renewal theory. It follows from our results that planar periodic Lor...
