This method allows us to give a more accurate description of certain ergodic components. The use of this criterion in combination with topological devices such as blenders lets us obtain global ergodicity and abundance of non-zero Lyapunov exponents in some contexts. In the partial hyperbolicity context, we obtain that stably ergodic diffeomorphisms are C^1-dense among volume preserving partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with two-dimensional center bundle. This is motivated by a well known conjecture of C. Pugh and M. Shub.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-07-27T03:12:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37D25", "37C40", "37D30" ], "keywords": [ "non-uniform hyperbolicity", "partial hyperbolicity context", "volume preserving partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms", "non-zero lyapunov exponents", "two-dimensional center bundle" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0907.4539R" } } }
