Ergodic Properties of Equilibrium Measures for Smooth Three Dimensional Flows

چکیده
Let {T t} be a smooth flow with positive speed and positive topological entropy on a compact smooth three dimensional manifold, and let μ be an ergodic measure of maximal entropy. We show that either {T t} is Bernoulli, or {T t} is isomorphic to the product of a Bernoulli flow and a rotational flow. Applications are given to Reeb flows.

متن کاملMeasures 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...
متن کاملSymbolic Dynamics for Three Dimensional Flows with Positive Topological Entropy
We construct symbolic dynamics on sets of full measure (with respect to an ergodic measure of positive entropy) for C1+ε flows on closed smooth three dimensional manifolds. One consequence is that the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of a closed C∞ surface has at least const×(ehT /T ) simple closed orbits of period less than T , whenever the topological entropy h is positive – and witho...
متن کاملDimension and Ergodic Decompositions for Hyperbolic Flows
For conformal hyperbolic flows, we establish explicit formulas for the Hausdorff dimension and for the pointwise dimension of an arbitrary invariant measure. We emphasize that these measures are not necessarily ergodic. The formula for the pointwise dimension is expressed in terms of the local entropy and of the Lyapunov exponents. We note that this formula was obtained before only in the speci...
