Abstract: We consider smooth time-changes of the classical horocycle flows on the unit tangent bundle of a compact hyperbolic surface and prove sharp bounds on the rate of equidistribution and the rate of mixing. We then derive results on the spectrum of smooth time-changes and show that the spectrum is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on the real line and that the maximal spectral type is equivalent to Lebesgue.

Review text

In the ergodic theory of flows it is often important to consider robustness of certain behaviors (speed of mixing, speed of equidistribution) under (smooth) time changes. A classic result in this direction is Marcus's theorem on mixing of horocycle flow on surfaces of variable negative curvature (or, equivalently, for time changes for horocycle flow under appropriate smoothness conditions). In the paper under review, the authors prove sharp results on speed of mixing and speed of equidistribution for time changes of horocycle flows on compact hyperbolic surfaces. Several results on the spectrum of the flow are also obtained, in particular that the spectral measure is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue. The mixing and equidistribution results are obtained via a quantitative strengthening of Marcus's argument.
