We study generic volume-preserving diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. We show that the following property holds generically in the $C^1$ topology: Either there is at least one zero Lyapunov exponent at almost every point, or the set of…
We consider the volume preserving flow of smooth, closed and convex hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1} (n\geq 2)$ with the speed given by arbitrary positive power $\alpha$ of the Gauss curvature. We prove that if the…

A criterion in terms of differential invariants for a metric on a surface to be Liouville is established. Moreover, in this paper we completely solve in invariant terms the local mobility problem of a 2D metric, considered by Darboux: How…
We study the geodesic flow of geometrically finite quotients $\Omega/{\Gamma}$ of Hilbert geometries, in particular its recurrence properties. We prove that, under a geometrical assumption on the cusps, the geodesic flow is uniformly…
We study the dissipation measure arising in the inviscid limit of two-dimensional incompressible fluids. It is proved that the dissipation is Lebesgue in time and, for almost every time, it is absolutely continuous with respect to the…
We consider families of diffeomorphisms with dominated splittings and preserving a Borel probability measure, and we study the regularity of the Lyapunov exponents associated to the invariant bundles with respect to the parameter. We obtain…
In this paper we obtain local rigidity results for linear Anosov diffeomorphisms in terms of Lyapunov exponents. More specifically, we show that given an irreducible linear hyperbolic automorphism $L$ with simple real eigenvalues with…

In the pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1,k}$, we consider the mean curvature flow of $n$-dimensional spacelike submanifolds with spacelike codimension one and arbitrary timelike codimension $k$. We show that if the initial submanifold…
We consider two transitive $3$-dimensional Anosov flows which do not preserve volume and which are continuously conjugate to each other. Then, disregarding certain exceptional cases, such as flows with $C^1$ regular stable or unstable…
We define a formal Riemannian metric on a given conformal class of metrics on a closed Riemann surface. We show interesting formal properties for this metric, in particular the curvature is nonpositive and the Liouville energy is…
A large class of variational equations for geometric objects is studied. The results imply conformal monotonicity and Liouville theorems for steady, polytropic, ideal flow, and the regularity of weak solutions to generalized Yang-Mills and…
The equations of motion of a charged ideal fluid, respectively the superconductivity equation (both in a given magnetic field) are showed to be geodesic equations on a general, respectively central extension of the group of volume…
Shub & Wilkinson and Ruelle & Wilkinson studied a class of volume preserving diffeomorphisms on the three dimensional torus that are stably ergodic. The diffeomorphisms are partially hyperbolic and admit an invariant central foliation of…
We study random dynamical systems generated by volume-preserving piecewise $C^{1}$ maps. For this class of systems, we establish an invariance principle stating that if all Lyapunov exponents vanish, then there exists a measurable family of…
It has been recently realized that for abundant dynamical systems on a compact manifold, the set of points for which Lyapunov exponents fail to exist, called the Lyapunov irregular set, has positive Lebesgue measure. In the present paper,…
We prove a generalization of a so called "invariance principle" for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms: if an invariant probability measure has all its center Lyapunov exponents equal to zero then the measure admits a center…
