On classification of higher rank Anosov actions on compact manifold

Abstract

We prove global smooth classification results for TNS totally Anosov Z^k actions on general compact manifolds, under each one of the following conditions: joint integrability, resonance-free or Lyapunov pinching condition. Unlike the previous results, we do not require any uniform quasiconformality or pinching condition of action elements on coarse Lyapunov distributions, nor do we have any restriction on the dimension of coarse Lyapunov distributions. The main novelty is in proving a new standard form of the derivative cocycle for any TNS totally Anosov Z^k action on general manifold. A main idea is to create a new mechanism called a non-uniform redefining argument to prove continuity of general dynamically-defined object, which should apply to more general rigidity problems in dynamical systems.
