Propriétés ergodiques des mesures de Sinaï (Q2266504)

The author considers a compact Riemannian manifold M without boundary and a \(C^ 1\)-diffeomorphism \(f: M\to M\) with Hölder-continuous tangential maps. The main result of the paper shows that for an invariant measure m for which the subspace \(E^ 0(x)\) corresponding to the characteristic exponent 0 reduces to \(\{\) \(0\}^ a.\)s., the absolute continuity of m with respect to the unstable foliation is equivalent to the Pesin formula: \(h(m)=\int \sum \lambda^+_ i(x)\dim E^ i(x)dm(x)\). Such a measure the author calls a Sinai measure. Partial results are due to \textit{Ya. B. Pesin} [Usp. Mat. Nauk 32, No.4(196), 55-112 (1977; Zbl 0359.58010)] and \textit{D. Ruelle} [Bol. Soc. Bras. Mat. 9, 83-87 (1978; Zbl 0432.58013)]. Various applications and related results for Sinai measures m are given. Among them it is shown that the set of generic points for m has positive Lebesgue measure if m is ergodic and that (M,f,m) is Bernoulli if the system is totally ergodic.
