Analyticity of dimensions for hyperbolic surface diffeomorphisms

Measures of Maximal Dimension for Hyperbolic Diffeomorphisms

We establish the existence of ergodic measures of maximal Hausdorff dimension for hyperbolic sets of surface diffeomorphisms. This is a dimension-theoretical version of the existence of ergodic measures of maximal entropy. The crucial difference is that while the entropy map is upper-semicontinuous, the map ν 7→ dimH ν is neither uppersemicontinuous nor lower-semicontinuous. This forces us to d...

Dynamical determinants and spectrum for hyperbolic diffeomorphisms

For smooth hyperbolic dynamical systems and smooth weights, we relate Ruelle transfer operators with dynamical Fredholm determinants and dynamical zeta functions: First, we establish bounds for the essential spectral radii of the transfer operator on new spaces of anisotropic distributions, improving our previous results [7]. Then we give a new proof of Kitaev’s [17] lower bound for the radius ...

Entropy-expansiveness for Partially Hyperbolic Diffeomorphisms

We show that diffeomorphisms with a dominated splitting of the form Es⊕Ec⊕Eu, where Ec is a nonhyperbolic central bundle that splits in a dominated way into 1-dimensional subbundles, are entropy-expansive. In particular, they have a principal symbolic extension and equilibrium states.
