More specifically, we show that given an irreducible linear hyperbolic automorphism $L$ with simple real spectrum, any small perturbation preserving the volume and with the same Lyapunov exponents is smoothly conjugate to $L$. We also obtain rigidity results for skew products over Anosov diffeomorphisms. Given a volume preserving partially hyperbolic skew product diffeomorphism $f_0$ over an Anosov automorphism of the 2-torus, we show that for any volume preserving perturbation $f$ of $f_0$ with the same average stable and unstable Lyapunov exponents, the center foliation is smooth.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-02-22T19:00:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lyapunov exponents", "anosov automorphism", "preserving partially hyperbolic skew", "anosov diffeomorphisms", "rigidity results" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
