On codimension one partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show that every codimension one partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism must support on mathbbTn. It is locally uniquely integrable and derived from a linear codimension one Anosov diffeomorphism. Moreover, this system is intrinsically ergodic, and the A. Katok's conjecture about the existence of ergodic measures with intermediate entropies holds for it.


The author considers \(C^1\)-diffeomorphisms on \(C^\infty\)-closed Riemannian manifolds \(M\) of dimension \(n\). Such diffeomorphisms \(f: M \rightarrow M\) are called codimension-one partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms if \(f\) or \(f^{-1}\) allows a continuous \(Tf\)-invariant splitting \(TM = E^c \bigoplus E^u\), where \(E^c\) is one-dimensional, and there is a function \(\xi: M \rightarrow (1, \infty)\) such that \(||Tf(v^c)|| < \xi(x) < ||Tf(v^u)||\) for all \(x \in M\) and unit vectors \(v^c \in E^c_x\) and \(v^u \in E^u_x\). The author shows that every codimension-one partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism arises from a linear codimension-one Anosov diffeomorphism of the torus. More specifically, the main result is the following: If \(N\) is a closed Riemannian manifold, and \(f: N \rightarrow N\) is a codimension-one partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism, then \(N\) is homeomorphic to the \(n\)-torus \(\mathbb{T}^n\), the distribution \(E^c\) is locally uniquely integrable, and \(f\) is semiconjugated to a linear codimension one Anosov diffeomorphism \(f_* \in \mathrm{GL}(n, \mathbb{Z})\), the induced linear transformation of \(f\) on \(\pi_1(N)\). This provides a generalization of results in [\textit{J. Franks}, Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 14, 61-- 93 (1970; Zbl 0207.54304); \textit{S.E. Newhouse}, Am. J. Math. 92, 761--770 (1970; Zbl 0204.56901)].
