Ergodic components of partially hyperbolic systems (Q520759)

This paper solves two questions about partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. First, the author gives a complete classification of the possible ergodic decompositions for certain open families of volume-preserving partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. These families include systems with compact center leaves and perturbations of Anosov flows under conditions on the dimensions of the invariant subbundles. Secondly, the author shows that the non-open accessibility classes form a \(C^1\)-lamination and gives some results about the accessibility classes of non-volume-preserving systems.
