A remark on the spectrum of matrix solutions of the Riccati equation (Q1198792)

Let \(M\) be an \((n+1)\)-dimensional compact manifold endowed with a Riemannian metric having a strictly negative curvature. The geodesic flow of this metric let invariant the normalized Liouville measure of the unitary bundle \(T^ 1(M)\). The author presents an estimation for the entropy of this measure and deduces from a comparison theorem for the Riccati equation an inequality for the Lyapunov exponent of the geodesic flow, which contains as a particular case a new minoration of the entropy of measure.
