Abstract

We prove that if ff is a C1C^1-generic symplectic diffeomorphism then the Oseledets splitting along almost every orbit is either trivial or partially hyperbolic. In addition, if ff is not Anosov then all the exponents in the center bundle vanish. This establishes in full a result announced by R. Ma\~{n}\'{e} in the ICM 1983. The main technical novelty is a probabilistic method for the construction of perturbations, using random walks.
