We study smooth volume-preserving perturbations of the time-1 map of the geodesic flow $\psi_{t}$ of a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension at least three with constant negative curvature. We show that such a perturbation has equal…

Let $f$ be a $C^{1}$ diffeomorphism on a compact manifold $M$ admitting a partially hyperbolic splitting $TM=E^{s}\oplus_{\prec} E^{1}\oplus_{\prec} E^{2}\cdots \oplus_{\prec}E^{l}\oplus_{\prec} E^{u}$ where $E^{s}$ is uniformly…

We prove the finiteness of ergodic measures of maximal entropy for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms where the center direction has a dominated decomposition into one dimensional bundle and there is a uniform lower bound for the absolute…

In this work we obtain a new criterion to establish ergodicity and non-uniform hyperbolicity of smooth measures of diffeomorphisms. This method allows us to give a more accurate description of certain ergodic components. The use of this…

We prove a new result allowing to construct Anosov flows in dimension 3 by gluing building blocks. By a building block, we mean a compact 3-manifold with boundary $P$, equipped with a $C^1$ vector field $X$, such that the maximal invariant…

We construct a smooth hyperbolic volume preserving diffeomorphism on a four dimensional compact Riemannian manifold which has countably many ergodic components and is arbitrarily close to the identity map.

We introduce some tools of symbolic dynamics to study the hyperbolic directions of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms, emulating the well known methods available for uniformly hyperbolic systems.

Motivated by non-equilibrium phenomena in nature, we study dynamical systems whose time-evolution is determined by non-stationary compositions of chaotic maps. The constituent maps are topologically transitive Anosov diffeomorphisms on a…

Let H be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, X a compact Hausdorff space and f : X \rightarrow X a homeomorphism which preserves a Borel ergodic measure which is positive on non-empty open sets. We prove that the non-uniformly…

We consider Holder continuous linear cocycles over partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. For fiber bunched cocycles with one Lyapunov exponent we show continuity of measurable invariant conformal structures and sub-bundles. Further, we…

We show that every transitive dynamically coherent partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism with a one-dimensional center foliation $\W^c$ satisfying that $f(W)=W$ for every leaf $W\in \W^c$ is a discretized Anosov flow.

An earlier article with Francis Bonahon introduced new invariants for pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms of surface, based on the representation theory of the quantum Teichmuller space. We explicity compute these quantum hyperbolic invariants in…

We consider a partially hyperbolic C1-diffeomorphism f on a smooth compact manifold M with a uniformly compact f-invariant center foliation. We show that if the unstable bundle is one-dimensional and oriented, then the holonomy of the…

We prove that any diffeomorphism of a compact manifold can be C^1-approximated by a diffeomorphism which exhibits a homoclinic bifurcation (a homoclinic tangency or a heterodimensional cycle) or by a diffeomorphism which is partially…

A diffeomorphism f has a heterodimensional cycle if it displays two (transitive) hyperbolic sets K and K' with different indices such that the unstable set of K intersects the stable one of K' and vice versa. We prove that it is possible to…

We consider partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms $f$ with a one-dimensional central direction such that the unstable entropy exceeds the stable entropy. Our main result proves that such maps have a finite number of ergodic measures of…

For partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with mostly expanding and mostly contracting centers, we establish a topological structure, called skeleton{a set consisting of finitely many hyperbolic periodic points with maximal cardinality for…

We prove that for any partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism with one dimensional neutral center on a 3-manifold, the center stable and center unstable foliations are complete; moreover, each leaf of center stable and center unstable…

We prove several rigidity results about the centralizer of a smooth diffeomorphism, concentrating on two families of examples: diffeomorphisms with transitive centralizer, and perturbations of isometric extensions of Anosov diffeomorphisms…

We prove that every robustly transitive and every stably ergodic symplectic diffeomorphism on a compact manifold admits a dominated splitting. In fact, these diffeomorphisms are partially hyperbolic.
