SUMMARY:Geodesic flows: Mixing\, zeta functions and resonances - Pollicott

DESCRIPTION:Historically important examples of ``chaotic'' dynamical syste
 ms are Anosov flows\, in particular\, and geodesic flows on negatively cur
 ved manifolds. In particular\, they provide a concrete setting to explore 
 a wealth of interesting topics: (i) mixing rates (which can be studied usi
 ng zeta function and resonances)\; (ii) large deviations and fluctuation t
 heorems (Gallavotti-Cohen theorem in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics
 )\; and (iii) escape rates (the rate at which mass escapes from an open sy
 stem) and extremes.\n
