AbstractIt is shown that three different notions of regularity for the stable foliation on the unit tangent bundle of a compact manifold of negative curvature are equivalent. Moreover if is a time-preserving conjugacy of geodesic flows of such manifolds M, N then the Lyapunov exponents at corresponding periodic points of the flows coincide. In particular Δ also preserves the Lebesgue measure class.

AbstractWe are concerned with closed C∞ riemannian manifolds of negative curvature whose geodesic flows have C∞ stable and unstable foliations. In particular, we show that the geodesic flow of such a manifold is isomorphic to that of a certain closed riemannian manifold of constant negative curvature if the dimension of the manifold is greater than two and if the sectional curvature lies between − and −1 strictly.

Abstract Let ℳ 0 n {\mathcal{M}_{0}^{n}} be the class of closed, simply connected, non-negatively curved Riemannian n-manifolds admitting an isometric, effective, isotropy-maximal torus action. We prove that if M ∈ ℳ 0 n {M\in\mathcal{M}_{0}^{n}} , then M is equivariantly diffeomorphic to the free, linear quotient by a torus of a product of spheres of dimensions greater than or equal to 3. As a special case, we then prove the Maximal Symmetry Rank Conjecture for all M ∈ ℳ 0 n {M\in\mathcal{M}_{0}^{n}} . Finally, we show the Maximal Symmetry Rank Conjecture for simply connected, non-negatively curved manifolds holds for dimensions less than or equal to 9 without additional assumptions on the torus action.
