Abstract:

Let $ M $ be a compact manifold, and let ${\phi_t}$ be a transitive homologically full Anosov flow on $M$. Let $ \widetilde{M} $ be a $\mathbb{Z}^d$-cover for $ M $, and let $\widetilde{\phi_t} $ be the lift of ${\phi_t}$ to $\widetilde{M}$. Babillot and Ledrappier exhibited a family of measures on $\widetilde{M}$, which are invariant and ergodic with respect to the strong stable foliation of $\widetilde{\phi_t}$. We provide a new short proof of ergodicity.
