  • Published:
Inventiones mathematicae Aims and scope

Summary

In this paper we investigate the regularity of the topological entropyh top forC k perturbations of Anosov flows. We show that the topological entropy varies (almost) as smoothly as the perturbation. The results in this paper, along with several related results, have been announced in [KKPW].
