Généricité d'exposants de Lyapunov non-nuls pour des produits déterministes de matrices
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....
Given an origami (square-tiled surface) with automorphism group , we compute the decomposition of the first homology group of into isotypic -submodules. Through the action of the affine group of 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.
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.
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.
