We show that the horocyclic flow of an orientable compact higher genus surface without conjugate points and with continuous Green bundles is uniquely ergodic. The result applies to nonflat nonpositively curved surfaces and generalizes a…
We study the ergodic properties of horospheres on rank 1 manifolds with non-positive curvature. We prove that the horospheres are equidistributed under the action of the geodesic flow towards the Bowen-Margulis measure, on a large class of…
We study the generic invariant probability measures for the geodesic flow on connected complete nonpositively curved manifolds. Under a mild technical assumption, we prove that ergodicity is a generic property in the set of probability…
We study the closure of horocycles on rank 1 nonpositively curved surfaces with finitely generated fundamental group. Each horocycle is closed or dense on a certain subset of the unit tangent bundle. In fact, we classify each half-horocycle…
Let $M$ be a smooth compact surface of nonpositive curvature, with genus $\geq 2$. We prove the ergodicity of the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of $M$ with respect to the Liouville measure under the condition that the set of…
We study the horocycle flow on the stratum of translation surfaces $\mathcal{H}(2)$. We show that there is a sequence of horocycle ergodic measures, each supported on a periodic horocycle orbit, which weakly converges to an invariant, but…
We give examples of rank one compact surfaces on which there exist recurrent geodesics that cannot be shadowed by periodic geodesics. We build rank one compact surfaces such that ergodic measures on the unit tangent bundle of the surface…
In this paper we study topological aspects of the dynamics of the foliated horocycle flow on flat projective bundles over hyperbolic surfaces and we derive ergodic consequences. If $\rho : \Gamma \to {\rm PSL}(n+1,\mathbb{R})$ is a…
In this article, we study the ergodicity of the geodesic flows on surfaces with no focal points. Let $M$ be a smooth connected and closed surface equipped with a $C^\infty$ Riemannian metric $g$, whose genus $\mathfrak{g} \geq 2$. Suppose…
We consider the geodesic flow on a complete connected negatively curved manifold. We show that the set of invariant borel probability measures contains a dense $G_\delta$-subset consisting of ergodic measures fully supported on the…
We prove effective equidistribution of non-closed horocycles in the unit tangent bundle of infinite-volume geometrically finite hyperbolic surfaces.
We study the geodesic flow of a compact surface without conjugate points and genus greater than one and continuous Green bundles. Identifying each strip of bi-asymptotic geodesics induces an equivalence relation on the unit tangent bundle.…
The topological dynamics of the horocyclic flow h_R on the unit tangent bundle of a geometrically finite hyperbolic surface is well known. In particular on such a surface the flow h_R is minimal or the minimal sets are the periodic orbits.…
We construct geometrically infinite hyperbolic surfaces supporting horocycles with tailored recurrence properties. In particular, we obtain the first examples of non-trivial minimal horocyclic orbit closures and of infinite locally-finite…
We prove that for closed surfaces $M$ with Riemannian metrics without conjugate points and genus $\geq 2$ the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle $T^1M$ has a unique measure of maximal entropy. Furthermore, this measure is fully…
We consider the unit speed parametrization of the horocycle flow on infinite Abelian covers of compact surfaces of negative curvature. We prove an asymptotic result for the ergodic integrals of sufficiently regular functions. In the case of…
In the present work we consider the behavior of the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of the 2-torus $T^2$ for an arbitrary Riemannian metric. A natural non-negative quantity which measures the complexity of the geodesic flow is the…
Any free Borel flow is shown to admit a cross section with only two possible distances between adjacent points. Non smooth flows are proved to be Lebesgue orbit equivalent if and only if they admit the same number of invariant ergodic…
We prove that if a geodesic flow on a closed orientable $C^\infty$ surface is transitive and has positive topological entropy, then it has a unique measure of maximal entropy. This covers all previous results of the literature on the…
We study the dynamics of the geodesic and horocycle flows of the unit tangent bundle $(\hat M, T^1\mathcal{F})$ of a compact minimal lamination $(M,\mathcal F)$ by negatively curved surfaces. We give conditions under which the action of the…
