On the ergodicity of partially hyperbolic systems

Abstract

Pugh and Shub have conjectured that essential accessibility implies ergodicity, for a C2, partially hyperbolic, volume-preserving diffeomorphism. 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 C1+γ partially hyperbolic systems.
