Abstract: Consider a volume preserving Anosov $C$ action $alpha$ on a compact manifold $X$ by semisimple Lie groups with all simple factors of real rank at least 2. More precisely we assume that some Cartan subgroup $A$ of $G$ (or equivalently $G$) contains a dense set of elements which act normally hyperbolically on $M$ with respect to the orbit foliation of $A$. We show that $alpha$ is $C^{i}nfty$-conjugate to an action by left translations of a bi-homogeneous space $$, where $M$ is a compact subgroup of a Lie group $H$ and $Lambda$ is a uniform lattice in $H$. Crucially to our arguments, we introduce the notion of leafwise homogeneous topological Anosov $mathbb{R}^k$ actions for $kgeq2$ and provide their $C^0$ classification, again by left translations actions of a homogeneous space. We then use accessibility properties, the invariance principle of Avila and Viana, cohomology properties of partially hyperbolic systems by Wilkinson and lifting to a suitable fibration to obtain the classification of Anosov $G$ actions from the classification of topological Anosov $mathbb{R}^k$ actions.
