Closed one forms and exponential growth

Stefan Haller
(Universität Wien)

Abstract: Suppose X is a vector field on a closed manifold corresponding to a closed one form via a Riemannian metric.
We say X satisfies the exponential growth condition if the volumes of the unstable manifolds grow at most exponentially with the distance to the critical point. We will discuss this property and its implications to dynamics and spectral geometry.
