Smooth conjugacy classes of 3D Axiom A flows

Publication date 8 October 2020

Uniformly hyperbolic systems (expanding, Anosov, Axiom A, etc.) (37D20) Dynamical systems of geometric origin and hyperbolicity (geodesic and horocycle flows, etc.) (37D40)

Abstract: We show a rigidity result for 3-dimensional contact Axiom A flows: given two 3D contact Axiom A flows

P h i_{1}, P h i_{2}

whose restrictions

P h i_{1} |_{L a m b d a_{1}}, P h i_{2} |_{L a m b d a_{2}}

to basic sets

L a m b d a_{1}, L a m b d a_{2}

are orbit equivalent, we prove that if periodic orbits in correspondence have the same length, then the conjugacy is as regular as the flows and respects the contact structure, extending a previous result due to Feldman-Ornstein [21]. Some of the ideas are reminiscent of the work of Otal [51]. As an application, we show that the billiard maps of two open dispersing billiards without eclipse and with the same marked length spectrum are smoothly conjugated.
