Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new effective approach to higher-order mixing in the semisimple setting. We prove effective exponential mixing of all orders for partially hyperbolic algebraic actions, under a strong spectral-gap assumption. The decay rates are explicit in the Lyapunov and spectral-gap data, and the required Sobolev orders are explicit. Already at order two, our estimates require only partial Sobolev/H\"older regularity along weak stable and unstable subgroup directions, with no transverse derivatives. For representations admitting better-than-tempered decay, the resulting order-two estimate attains the optimal matrix-coefficient exponent. The proof introduces a new fractional-cohomological method in the semisimple setting. The central analytic input is a solvability theory for multiple fractional cohomological equations of Type~IIII (sum-of-product type). These equations are solvable in a cohomology-free range governed by the spectral behavior near the edge 00, and the solutions satisfy estimates in partial Sobolev norms. This mechanism converts fractional solvability into order-two decay of correlations under partial regularity, and then into effective higher-order mixing, yielding a quantitative form of Rokhlin's multiple-mixing problem.
