Abstract:
In 1982 Mañé announced (later proved by Bochi) that generic surface diffeomorphisms are either Anosov or else all Lyapunov exponents vanish almost everywhere. He pointed out the difficulties of obtaining similar results for higher dimensional manifolds, including the fact that conservative diffeomorphisms are not necessarily symplectic. Here we show that for a generic diffeomorphism in a 3-manifold, either all Lyapunov exponents vanish almost everywhere, or else the system is ergodic, non-uniformly hyperbolic and the Oseledets splitting is globally dominated.Date: Tuesday, January 24, 2012
