Accessibility and centralizers for partially hyperbolic flows

Abstract

Stable accessibility for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms is central to their ergodic theory, and we establish its \(C^1\)-density among 1. all, 2. volume-preserving, 3. symplectic, and 4. contact partially hyperbolic flows. As applications, we obtain in each of these 4 categories \(C^1\)-density of \(C^1\)-stable topological transitivity, ergodicity, and triviality of the centralizer.
