Dimension theory of smooth dynamical systems (Q4544262)

This article surveys recent work by its author, Barreira, Hasselblatt, Katok, Ledrappier, Pesin, Sinai and others. Subjects include regularity of foliations by stable and unstable manifolds; pointwise dimension of invariant measures; the proof of the Eckmann-Ruelle conjecture that the pointwise dimension exists a.e.\ for hyperbolic invariant measures under a \(C^{1+\alpha}\) diffeomorphism. A lifting procedure is described to cope with non-invertible (but locally diffeomorphic except on a lower dimensional singularity set) maps. Various results are given to the effect that sets of irregular points (exceptional set for Birkhoff's ergodic theorem, set of points where Lyapunov exponents are not defined, or irregular sets for local entropies) are actually large, in the sense that they carry the full topological entropy, and have full Hausdorff dimension. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0968.00013].
