We then derive results on the spectrum of smooth time-changes and show that the spectrum is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on the real line and that the maximal spectral type is equivalent to Lebesgue.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-02-23T14:43:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37A25", "37A30", "37C40", "37D40" ], "keywords": [ "smooth time-changes", "maximal spectral type", "unit tangent bundle", "compact hyperbolic surface", "sharp bounds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1202.4986F" } } }
