Half-delocalization of eigenfunctions for the Laplacian on an Anosov manifold

Nalini Anantharaman, Stéphane Nonnenmacher (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the high-energy eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold with Anosov geodesic flow. The localization of a semiclassical measure associated with a sequence of eigenfunctions is characterized by the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of this measure. We show that this entropy is necessarily bounded from below by a constant which, in the case of constant negative curvature, equals half the maximal entropy. In this sense, high-energy eigenfunctions are at least half-delocalized....

Homology of origamis with symmetries

Carlos Matheus, Jean-Christophe Yoccoz, David Zmiaikou (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Given an origami (square-tiled surface) M with automorphism group Γ , we compute the decomposition of the first homology group of M into isotypic Γ -submodules. Through the action of the affine group of M on the homology group, we deduce some consequences for the multiplicities of the Lyapunov exponents of the Kontsevich-Zorich cocycle. We also construct and study several families of interesting origamis illustrating our results.

Hyperbolic systems on nilpotent covers

Yves Coudene (2003)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We study the ergodicity of the weak and strong stable foliations of hyperbolic systems on nilpotent covers. Subshifts of finite type and geodesic flows on negatively curved manifolds are also considered.

Infinitesimal conjugacies and Weil-Petersson metric

Albert Fathi, L. Flaminio (1993)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We study deformations of compact Riemannian manifolds of negative curvature. We give an equation for the infinitesimal conjugacy between geodesic flows. This in turn allows us to compute derivatives of intersection of metrics. As a consequence we obtain a proof of a theorem of Wolpert.
