Abstract

For a transitive Anosov flow Φ\Phi on 3-dimensional closed manifold MM , we realize its Teichm\"uller space in the sense of smooth orbit-equivalence classes as a product of two function spaces. As an application, we show the path-connectedness of the orbit-equivalence space of 3-dimensional transitive Anosov flows which gives a positive answer of Potrie [53, Question 1] in dimension 3. Further, in the space of CrC^r-smooth (r1r\geq 1) 3-dimensional Anosov flows on MM, we show that Ar(Φ)\mathcal{A}^r(\Phi) the path component containing Φ\Phi is homotopy equivalent to the identity component of the diffeomorphism group of the manifold, namely, Ar(Φ)Diff0r(M). \mathcal{A}^r(\Phi)\simeq {\rm Diff}^r_0(M). Moreover, we show the rigidity of time-preserving conjugacy for 3-dimensional transitive Anosov flows admitting C1C^1-smooth strong stable foliations, which gives partial answer of Gogolev-Leguil- Rodriguez Hertz [27, Question 2.8].
