Abstract: We consider Anosov flows on closed 3-manifolds preserving a volume form

O m e g a

. Following Dyatlov and Zworski (2017) we study spaces of invariant distributions with values in the bundle of exterior forms whose wavefront set is contained in the dual of the unstable bundle. Our first result computes the dimension of these spaces in terms of the first Betti number of the manifold, the cohomology class

[i o t a_{X} O m e g a]

(where

X

is the infinitesimal generator of the flow) and the helicity. These dimensions coincide with the Pollicott-Ruelle resonance multiplicities under the assumption of

e x t i t s e m i s i m p l i c i t y

. We prove various results regarding semisimplicity on 1-forms, including an example showing that it may fail for time changes of hyperbolic geodesic flows. We also study non null-homologous deformations of contact Anosov flows and we show that there is always a splitting Pollicott-Ruelle resonance on 1-forms and that semisimplicity persists in this instance. These results have consequences for the order of vanishing at zero of the Ruelle zeta function. Finally our analysis also incorporates a flat unitary twist in both, the resonant spaces and the Ruelle zeta function.

Review text

This paper is about resonant spaces of invariant distributions with values in the bundle of exterior forms of volume-preserving Anosov flows on three-dimensional manifolds. The authors consider a closed three-manifold \(M\) with a volume form \(\Omega\) and a volume-preserving Anosov flow \(\phi_t\) having infinitesimal generator \(X\). They write the Anosov splitting as \(TM = \mathbb{R}X \oplus E_s \oplus E_u\), with \(E_0^*, E_s^*\), and \(E_u^*\) the duals of \(\mathbb{R}X, E_s\), and \( E_u\) respectively. The space of distributions with values in the bundle of exterior \(k\)-forms (and with wave front set contained in \(E_u^*\)) is denoted \(\mathcal{D}'_{E_u^*}\). The resonant spaces of interest to the authors are Res\(_k(0) = \{u \in \mathcal{D}'_{E_u^*} (M, \Omega^k) : \iota_X u =0 , \iota_X du = 0 \}\). The authors' first main result gives the dimensions of the resonant spaces Res\(_k(0)\) for \(k = 0,1, 2\) in terms of the first Betti number of \(M\). The dimensions depend on the cohomology class \([\omega]\) (where \(\omega = \iota_X \Omega\)) and, when \([\omega] = 0\), on the helicity \(\mathcal{H} = \int_M \tau (X) \Omega\) where \(\tau\) is any one-form with \(d\tau = \omega\). The authors note that these dimensions agree with the Pollicott-Ruelle resonance multiplicities when either \(X\) or \(\phi_t\) is semisimple. Later in the paper they explore consequences of their results with respect to the order of vanishing at zero of the Ruelle zeta function.
