We prove this conjecture under a mild center bunching assumption, which is satsified by all partially hyperbolic systems with 1-dimensional center bundle. We also obtain ergodicity results for $C^{1+\\gamma}$ partially hyperbolic systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-10-11T18:47:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37D30", "37C40" ], "keywords": [ "partially hyperbolic systems", "essential accessibility implies ergodicity", "mild center bunching assumption", "conjecture", "center bundle" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 46, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math.....10234B" } } }
