Ergodic properties of the stable foliations

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 1514)

Abstract

We describe some properties of the harmonic measures associated with the stable and the strong stable foliations of a geodesic flow on a negatively-curved manifold.

Keywords

  • Invariant Measure
  • Unstable Manifold
  • Stable Manifold
  • Harmonic Measure
  • Topological Entropy

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
