Open sets of exponentially mixing Anosov flows (Q783733)

The authors show that if \(\phi^t\) is a transitive \(C^{1+\alpha}\) Anosov flow such that the stable bundle is \(C^{1+\alpha}\) and the stable and unstable bundles are not jointly integrable, then \(\phi^t\) mixes exponentially with respect to the unique Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen measure. This allows them to show that if a flow is sufficiently close to a volume-preserving Anosov flow and \(\dim E^s=1\), \(\dim E^u \geq 2\) then the flow mixes exponentially if the stable and unstable bundles are not jointly integrable. This implies the existence of non-empty open sets of exponentially mixing Anosov flows.
