This is a survey on smooth dynamical systems, that is, diffeomorphisms and smooth flows on compact manifolds. In Section 1, construction of Markov partitions and symbolic dynamics are stated. Not only the original proof by Sinai for Anosov diffeomorphisms, but also Bowen's proof which works both Anosov diffeomorphisms and Axiom A diffeomorphisms are given. Relations between Markov partition and symbolic dynamics are stated. In Section 2, Gibbs measures for Anosov and Axiom A diffeomorphism are stated. In the first part of this section, classical theory of Gibbs measure for one-dimensional lattices in statistical mechanics is summarized. From thermodynamical point of view, a Gibbs state is defined by interactions. In the next part, modern theory of Gibbs measures for Anosov and Axiom A is stated. Namely, it is defind by potentials and topological pressure. The Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius operator is introducued, and relations beween its spectrum and invarinat measure is proved. In the last part, it is shown that two above mentioned definitions are equivalent. Many properties of Gibbs measures such as decay rate of correlations, central limit theorem, large deviations, equilibrium states, statistics of periodic orbits are stated. In Section 3, SRB measures are studied. Here, the results of Section 2 are used and explained into details. In Section 4, Anosov and Axiom A flows are studied. The Gibbs measures and SRB measures are extended to smooth hyperbolic flows. In Section 5, they studied statistical mechanics on Anosov and Axiom A diffeomorphisms. In Section 6, nonuniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems are discussed. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1013.00016].
