We show that for a large class of maps on manifolds of arbitrary finite dimension, the existence of a Gibbs-Markov-Young structure (with Lebesgue as the reference measure) is a necessary as well as sufficient condition for the existence of…

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 prove that periodic asymptotic expansiveness introduced in \cite{em} implies the equidistribution of periodic points to measures of maximal entropy. Then following Yomdin's approach \cite{Yom} we show by using semi-algebraic tools that…

We study how physical measures vary with the underlying dynamics in the open class of $C^r$, $r>1$, strong partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms for which the central Lyapunov exponents of every Gibbs $u$-state is positive. If transitive,…

We consider random perturbations of a topologically transitive local diffeomorphism of a Riemannian manifold. We show that if an absolutely continuous ergodic stationary measures is expanding (all Lyapunov exponents positive), then there is…

We prove that for $\mathcal{C}^{1,\alpha}$ diffeomorphisms on a compact manifold $M$ with ${\rm dim} M\leq 3$, if an invariant measure $\mu$ is a continuity point of the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents, then $\mu$ is an upper…

We obtain a dichotomy for $C^1$-generic, volume-preserving diffeomorphisms: either all the Lyapunov exponents of almost every point vanish or the volume is ergodic and non-uniformly Anosov (i.e. nonuniformly hyperbolic and the splitting…

In this paper we study the relationship between Lyapunov exponents and the induced map on cohomology for $C^{1}-$diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. We show that if the induced map on cohomology has spectral radius strictly larger than 1,…

We prove a $C^\infty$ closing lemma for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of closed surfaces. This is a consequence of a $C^\infty$ closing lemma for Reeb flows on closed contact three-manifolds, which was recently proved as an application of…

Recently, Burguet proved a strong form of Viana's conjecture on physical measures, in the special case of $C^\infty$ surface diffeomorphisms. We give another proof, based on our analysis of entropy and Lyapunov exponents in [BCS].

For continuous maps on a compact manifold M, particularly for those that do not preserve the Lebesgue measure m, we define the observable invariant probability measures as a generalization of the physical measures. We prove that any…

We introduce a new induction scheme for non-uniformly expanding maps $f$ of compact Riemannian manifolds, proving that the existence of a Gibbs-Markov-Young structure is a necessary condition for $f$ to preserve an absolutely continuous…

Let $M$ be a compact manifold and $f:\,M\to M$ be a $C^1$ diffeomorphism on $M$. If $\mu$ is an $f$-invariant probability measure which is absolutely continuous relative to Lebesgue measure and for $\mu$ $a.\,\,e.\,\,x\in M,$ there is a…

In this paper we investigate the relation between measure expansiveness and hyperbolicity. We prove that non atomic invariant ergodic measures with all of its Lyapunov exponents positive is positively measure-expansive. We also prove that…

We show that the integrated Lyapunov exponents of $C^1$ volume preserving diffeomorphisms are simultaneously continuous at a given diffeomorphism only if the corresponding Oseledets splitting is trivial (all Lyapunov exponents equal to…

We prove existence of (at most denumerable many) absolutely continuous invariant probability measures for random one-dimensional dynamical systems with asymptotic expansion. If the rate of expansion (Lyapunov exponents) is bounded away from…

In this paper, we prove that for $\mathcal{C}^1$ generic volume-preserving Anosov diffeomorphisms of a compact Riemannian manifold, Liv\v{s}ic measurable rigidity theorem holds. We also prove that for $\mathcal{C}^1$ generic…

In this paper, we study Monge's problem on Riemannian manifolds $(M, g)$ with positive sectional curvature. Assuming that the source and target measures are absolutely continuous with respect to the Riemannian volume measure, we generalize…

We study the entropy and Lyapunov exponents of invariant measures $\mu$ for smooth surface diffeomorphisms $f$, as functions of $(f,\mu)$. The main result is an inequality relating the discontinuities of these functions. One consequence is…

We show that on any smooth compact connected manifold of dimension $m\geq 2$ admitting a smooth non-trivial circle action $\mathcal{S} = \left\{S_t\right\}_{t \in \mathbb{R}}$, $S_{t+1}=S_t$, the set of weakly mixing…
