On Livšic's theorem, superrigidity, and Anosov actions of semisimple Lie groups (Q1363169)

The paper deals with the conjecture that the Anosov actions of semisimple Lie groups are essentially \(C^\infty\)-conjugate to algebraic actions, it presents a bundle-theoretic generalization of a result of \textit{A. N. Livšic} [Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 36, 1296-1320 (1972; Zbl 0252.58007)] on the cohomology of Anosov systems, and describes the Hölder algebraic hull on the frame bundle for Anosov actions of higher-rank semisimple groups. This allows to find continuous, Hölder, or smooth sections of a principal bundle that transform according to a finite-dimensional representation, provided one can find sections of the same regularity of some associated bundles. Due to the complexity of concepts, we can only state the introductory generalization of the Livšic theorem: Let \(P\to M\) be a principal \(H\)-bundle over a compact connected manifold \(M\) where \(H= K\ltimes A\) is the semidirect product of a compact group with an abelian group. Let \(G\) be a Lie group that acts via Hölder automorphisms on \(P\) and with the Anosov action on \(M\). Let \(V\) be a transitive left \(H\)-space with \(H\)-invariant metric. Then any \(G\)-invariant measurable section of the associated bundle \(E_V\to M\) is actually Hölder.
