Joint integrability and spectral rigidity for Anosov diffeomorphisms

Abstract

Let $f\colon\mathbb{T}^d\to\mathbb{T}^d$ be an Anosov diffeomorphism whose linearization $A\in{\rm GL}(d,\mathbb{Z})$ is irreducible. Assume that $f$ is also absolutely partially hyperbolic where a weak stable subbundle is considered as the center subbundle. We show that if the strong stable and unstable subbundles are jointly integrable, then $f$ is dynamically coherent and all foliations match corresponding linear foliation under the conjugacy to the linearization $A$. Moreover, $f$ admits the finest dominated splitting in weak stable subbundle with dimensions matching those for $A$, and it has spectral rigidity along all these subbundles. In dimension 4 we are also able to obtain a similar result which allows to group the weak stable and unstable subbundles into a center subbundle and assumes joint integrability of strong stable and unstable subbundles. As an application, we show that for every symplectic diffeomorphism $f\in{\rm Diff}^2_{\omega}(\mathbb{T}^4)$ which is $C^1$-close to an irreducible non-conformal automorphism $A\in{\rm Sp}(4,\mathbb{Z})$, the extremal subbundles of $f$ are jointly integrable if and only if $f$ is smoothly conjugate to $A$.
