Abstract

Let MM be a 2dd-dimensional compact connected Riemannian manifold and ω\omega be a symplectic form on MM. In this paper, we prove that a symplectic diffeomorphism, with all Lyapunov exponent zero for almost everywhere, can be C1C^1 approximated by one with a positive Lyapunov exponent for a positive-measured subset of MM. That is, the set {fSymω1(M)\mboxThelargestLyapunovexponentλ1(f,x)>0\mboxforapositivemeasureset} \left\{ f\in \mathcal{S}ym^1_{\omega}(M)\,| \begin{array}{ll} &\mbox{The largest Lyapunov exponent }\lambda_1(f,\,x)>0\\ &\mbox{ for a positive measure set } \end{array} \right\} is dense in Symω1(M)\mathcal{S}ym^1_{\omega}(M). \end{abstract} \end{center}
