We provide sufficient conditions for smooth conjugacy between two Anosov endomorphisms on the 2-torus. From that, we also explore how the regularity of the stable and unstable foliations implies smooth conjugacy inside a class of endomorphisms including, for instance, the ones with constant Jacobian. As a consequence, we have in this class a characterization of smooth conjugacy between special Anosov endomorphisms and their linearizations.
Despite the invertible setting, Anosov endomorphisms may have infinitely many unstable directions. Here we prove, under transitivity assumption, that an Anosov endomorphism on a closed manifold $M,$ is either special (that is, every $x \in M$ has only one unstable direction) or for a typical point in $M$ there are infinitely many unstable directions. Other result of this work is the semi rigidity of the unstable Lyapunov exponent of a $C^{1+α}$ codimension one Anosov endomorphism and $C^1$ close to a linear endomorphism of $\mathbb{T}^n$ for $(n \geq 2).$ In the appendix we give a proof for er…
For an endomorphism it is known that if all the points in the manifold have dense sets of pre-images then the dynamical system is transitive. The inverse has been shown for a residual set of points but the the exact inverse has not yet been investigated before. Here we are going to show that under some conditions it is true for Anosov endomorphisms on closed manifolds, by using the fact that Anosov endomorphisms are covering maps.
We obtain smooth conjugacy between non-necessarily special Anosov endomorphisms in the conservative case. Among other results, we prove that a strongly special $C^{\infty}-$Anosov endomorphism of $\mathbb{T}^2$ and its linearization are smoothly conjugated since they have the same periodic data. Assuming that for a strongly special $C^{\infty}-$Anosov endomorphism of $\mathbb{T}^2$ every point is regular (in Oseledec's Theorem sense), then we obtain again smooth conjugacy with its linearization. We also obtain some results on local rigidity of linear Anosov endomorphisms of $d-$torus, where $d…
We study the transverse geometric behavior of 2-dimensional foliations in 3-manifolds. We show that an R-covered transversely orientable foliation with Gromov hyperbolic leaves in a closed 3-manifold admits a regulating, transverse pseudo-Anosov flow (in the appropriate sense) in each atoroidal piece of the manifold. The flow is a blow of a one prong pseudo-Anosov flow. In addition we show that there is a regulating flow for the whole foliation. We also determine how deck transformations act on the universal circle of the foliation.
We found a dichotomy involving the unstable Lyapunov exponent of a special Anosov endomorphism of the torus induced by the conjugacy with the linearization. In fact, either every unstable leaf meets on a set of zero measure the set for which is defined such unstable Lyapunov exponent or the endomorphims is smoothly conjugated with its linearization. Also we are able to characterize the absolute continuity of the intermediate foliation for a class of volume preserving special Anosov endomorphisms of $\mathbb{T}^3.$
In this paper we give a classification of special endomorphisms of nil-manifolds: Let $f:N/Γ\rightarrow N/Γ$ be a covering map of a nil-manifold and denote by $A:N/Γ\rightarrow N/Γ$ the nil-endomorphism which is homotopic to $f$. If $f$ is a special $TA$-map, then $A$ is a hyperbolic nil-endomorphism and $f$ is topologically conjugate to $A$.
In this paper we focused our study on Derived From Anosov diffeomorphisms (DA diffeomorphisms ) of the torus $\mathbb{T}^3,$ it is, an absolute partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism on $\mathbb{T}^3$ homotopic to an Anosov linear automorphism of the $\mathbb{T}^3.$ We can prove that if $f: \mathbb{T}^3 \rightarrow \mathbb{T}^3 $ is a volume preserving DA diffeomorphism homotopic to linear Anosov $A,$ such that the center Lyapunov exponent satisfies $λ^c_f(x) > λ^c_A > 0,$ with $x $ belongs to a positive volume set, then the center foliation of $f$ is non absolutely continuous. We construct a new…
In a non-compact setting, the notion of hyperbolicity, and the associated structure of stable and unstable manifolds (for unbounded orbits), is highly dependent on the choice of metric used to define it. We consider the simplest version of this, the analogue for the plane of Anosov diffeomorphisms, studied earlier by W. White and P. Mendes. The two known topological conjugacy classes of such diffeomorphisms are linear hyperbolic automorphisms and translations. We show that if the structure of stable and unstable manifolds is required to be preserved by these conjugacies, the number of distinct…
A foliation is R-covered if the leaf space in the universal cover is homeomorphic to the real numbers. We show that, up to topological conjugacy, there are at most two pseudo-Anosov flows transverse to such a foliation. If there are two, then the foliation is weakly conjugate to the the stable foliation of an R-covered Anosov flow. The proof uses the universal circle to R-covered foliations.
A diffeomorphism $f:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}^2$ in the plane is Anosov if it has a hyperbolic splitting at every point of the plane. The two known topological conjugacy classes of such diffeomorphisms are linear hyperbolic automorphisms and translations (the existence of Anosov structures for plane translations was originally shown by W. White). P. Mendes conjectured that these are the only topological conjugacy classes for Anosov diffeomorphisms in the plane. We prove that this claim holds when the Anosov diffeomorphism is the time-one map of a flow, via a theorem about foliations invariant …
We prove that if the stable foliation and the unstable foliation of an Anosov diffeomorphism on a connected compact manifold are $C^3$, then the diffeomorphism has fixed points. This is a partial positive answer to a Smale conjecture for fixed points of Anosov diffeomorphisms.
Let F be a foliation in a closed 3-manifold with negatively curved fundamental group and suppose that F is almost transverse to a quasigeodesic pseudo-Anosov flow. We show that the leaves of the foliation in the universal cover extend continuously to the sphere at infinity, hence the limit sets are continuous images of the circle. One important corollary is that if F is a Reebless finite depth foliation in a hyperbolic manifold, then it has the continuous extension property. Such finite depth foliations exist whenever the second Betti number is non zero. The result also applies to other classe…
We briefly survey some of the recent results concerning the metric behavior of the invariant foliations for a partially hyperbolic on a three-dimensional manifold and propose a conjecture to characterize atomic behavior for conservative partially hyperbolic homotopic to Anosov (DA) on $\mathbb T^3$. On the other hand we prove that if one of the invariant foliations (stable, center or unstable) of a conservative DA on $\mathbb T^3$ is $C^1$ and transversely absolutely continuous with bounded Jacobians the Lyapunov exponent on this direction is defined everywhere and constant. If the center foli…
To any Anosov flow X on a 3-manifold Fe1 associated a bi-foliated plane (a plane endowed with two transverse foliations Fs and Fu) which reflects the normal structure of the flow endowed with the center-stable and center unstable foliations. A flow is R-covered if Fs (or Fu) is trivial. From one Anosov flow one can build infinitely many others by Dehn-Goodman-Fried surgeries. This paper investigates how these surgeries modify the bi-foliated plane. We first noticed that surgeries along some specific periodic orbits do not modify the bi-foliated plane: for instance, - surgeries on families of o…
We consider smooth partially hyperbolic volume preserving Z^k actions on smooth manifolds, with uniformly compact center foliation. We show that under certain irreducibility condition on the action, bunching and uniform quasiconformality conditions, the action is a smooth fiber bundle extension of an Anosov action, or the center foliation is pathological. We obtain several corollaries of this result. For example, we prove a global dichotomy result that any smooth conservative circle extension over a maximal Cartan action is either essentially a product of an action by rotations and a linear An…
In this work we completely classify $C^\infty$ conjugacy for conservative partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms homotopic to a linear Anosov automorphism on the 3-torus by its center foliation behavior. We prove that the uniform version of absolute continuity for the center foliation is the natural hypothesis to obtain $C^\infty$ conjugacy to its linear Anosov automorphism. On a recent work Avila, Viana and Wilkinson proved that for a perturbation in the volume preserving case of the time-one map of an Anosov flow absolute continuity of the center foliation implies smooth rigidity. The absolute…
We consider Anosov diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^3$ such that the tangent bundle splits into three subbundles $E^s_f \oplus E^{wu}_f \oplus E^{su}_f.$ We show that if $f$ is $C^r, r \geq 2,$ volume preserving, then $f$ is $C^1$ conjugated with its linear part $A$ if and only if the center foliation $\mathcal{F}^{wu}_f$ is absolutely continuous and the equality $λ^{wu}_f(x) = λ^{wu}_A,$ between center Lyapunov exponents of $f$ and $A,$ holds for $m$ a.e. $x \in \mathbb{T}^3.$ We also conclude rigidity of derived from Anosov diffeomorphism, assuming an strong absolute continuity property (Unifo…
In this work, we study dominant rational maps preserving singular holomorphic codimension one foliations on projective manifolds and that exhibit non-trivial transverse dynamics.
Given any smooth Anosov map we construct a Banach space on which the associated transfer operator is quasi-compact. The peculiarity of such a space is that in the case of expanding maps it reduces exactly to the usual space of functions of bounded variation which has proven particularly successful in studying the statistical properties of piecewise expanding maps. Our approach is based on a new method of studying the absolute continuity of foliations which provides new information that could prove useful in treating hyperbolic systems with singularities.
We prove that for Anosov maps of the $3$-torus if the Lyapunov exponents of absolutely continuous measures in every direction are equal to the geometric growth of the invariant foliations then $f$ is $C^1$ conjugated to his linear part.
We construct infinite sequences of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms without fixed points and leaving invariant a sequence of orientable measured foliations on the same topological surface and the same stratum of the space of abelian differentials. The existence of such sequences show that all pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms fixing orientable measured foliations cannot be obtained by the Rauzy-Veech induction strategy.
In this article, we develop a geometric framework to study the notion of semi-minimality for the generic type of a smooth autonomous differential equation $(X,v)$, based on the study of rational factors of $(X,v)$ and of algebraic foliations on $X$, invariant under the Lie-derivative of the vector field $v$. We then illustrate the effectiveness of these methods by showing that certain autonomous algebraic differential equation of order three defined over the field of real numbers --- more precisely, those associated to mixing, compact, Anosov flows of dimension three --- are generically disint…
Weprovethattheasymptoticsofergodicintegralsalonganinvariant foliation of a toral Anosov diffeomorphism, or of a pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism on a compact orientable surface of higher genus, are determined (up to a logarithmic error) by the action of the diffeomorphism on the cohomology of the surface. As a consequence of our argument and of the results of Giulietti and Liverani [GL] on horospherical averages, toral Anosov diffeomorphisms have no Ruelle resonances in the open interval $(1,e^{h_{top}} )$.
Starting from any pseudo-Anosov map $φ$ on a surface of genus $g \geqslant 2$, we construct explicitly a family of Derived from pseudo-Anosov maps $f$ by adapting the construction of Smale's Derived from Anosov maps on the two-torus. This is done by perturbing $φ$ at some fixed points. We first consider perturbations at every conical fixed point and then at regular fixed points. We establish the existence of a measure $μ$, supported by the non-trivial unique minimal component of the stable foliation of $f$, with respect to which $f$ is mixing. In the process, we construct a uniquely ergodic Ge…
An infinite family of generalized pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms of the sphere S is constructed, and their invariant foliations and singular orbits are described explicitly by means of generalized train tracks. The complex strucure induced by the invariant foliations is described, and is shown to make S into a complex sphere. The generalized pseudo-Anosovs thus become quasiconformal automorphisms of the Riemann sphere, providing a complexification of the unimodal family which differs from that of the Fatou/Julia theory.
We address the classical problem of equivalence between Kolmogorov and Bernoulli property of smooth dynamical systems. In a natural class of volume preserving partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms homotopic to Anosov ("derived from Anosov") on 3-torus, we prove that Kolmogorov and Bernoulli properties are equivalent. In our approach, we propose to study the conditional measures of volume along central foliation to recover fine ergodic properties for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. As an important consequence we obtain that there exists an almost everywhere conjugacy between any volume pre…
We prove that a class of weakly partially hyperbolic endomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^2$ are dynamically coherent and leaf conjugate to linear toral endomorphisms. Moreover, we give an example of a partially hyperbolic endomorphism on $\mathbb{T}^2$ which does not admit a centre foliation.
We describe a circle of ideas relating the dynamics of 2-dimensional homeomorphisms to that of 1-dimensional endomorphisms. This is used to introduce a new class of maps generalizing that of Thurston's pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms.
In this article we study the topological structure of the lifts to the universal of the stable and unstable foliations of $3$-dimensional Anosov flows. In particular we consider the case when these foliations do not have Hausdorff leaf space. We completely determine the structure of the set of non separated leaves from a given leaf in one of these foliations. As a consequence of this suspensions are characterized, up to topological conjugacy, as the only $3$-dimensional Anosov flows without freely homotopic closed orbits. Furthermore the structure of branching is related to the topology of the…
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 distinct absolute values, any small perturbation preserving the volume and with the same Lyapunov exponents is smoothly conjugate to $L$. We also obtain rigidity results for skew products over Anosov diffeomorphisms. Given a volume preserving partially hyperbolic skew product diffeomorphism $f_0$ over an Anosov automorphism of the 2-torus, we show that for any vo…
We consider a smooth Anosov diffeomorphism with a smooth dynamical foliation. We show upper bounds on the essential spectral radius of its transfer operator acting on anisotropic Sobolev spaces. (Such bounds are related to the essential decorrelation rate for the SRB measure.) We compare our results to the estimates of Kitaev on the domain of holomorphy of dynamical Fredholm determinants for differentiable dynamics.

In this paper we address the issues of absolute continuity for the center foliation (as well as the disintegration on the non-absolute continuous case) and rigidity of volume preserving partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms isotopic to a linear Anosov on $\mathbb T^3$. It is shown that the disintegration of volume on center leaves may be neither atomic nor Lebesgue. It is also obtained results concerning the atomic disintegration. Moreover, the absolute continuity of the center foliation does not imply smooth conjugacy with its linearization. Imposing stronger conditions besides absolute contin…
In several contexts the defining invariant structures of a hyperbolic dynamical system are smooth only in systems of algebraic origin (smooth rigidity), and we prove new results of this type for a class of flows. For a compact Riemannian manifold and a uniformly quasiconformal transversely symplectic Anosov flow we define the longitudinal KAM-cocycle and use it to prove a rigidity result: The joint stable/unstable subbundle is Zygmund-regular, and higher regularity implies vanishing of the longitudinal KAM-cocycle, which in turn implies that the subbundle is Lipschitz-continuous and indeed tha…
