Finite Periodic Data Rigidity For Two-Dimensional Area-Preserving Anosov Diffeomorphisms (2409.05857v1)

Abstract: Let $f,g$ be $C^2$ area-preserving Anosov diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^2$ which are topologically conjugate by a homeomorphism $h$ ($hf=gh$). We assume that the Jacobian periodic data of $f$ and $g$ are matched by $h$ for all points of some large period $N\in\mathbb{N}$. We show that $f$ and $g$ are approximately smoothly conjugate." That is, there exists a $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphism $\overline{h}_N$ such that $h$ and $\overline{h}_N$ are $C^0$ exponentially close in $N$, and $f$ and $f_N:=\overline{h}_N^{-1}g\overline{h}_N$ are $C^1$ exponentially close in $N$. Moreover, the rates of convergence are uniform among different $f,g$ in a $C^2$ bounded set of Anosov diffeomorphisms. The main idea in constructing $\overline{h}_N$ is to do aweighted holonomy" construction, and the main technical tool in obtaining our estimates is a uniform effective version of Bowen's equidistribution theorem of weighted discrete orbits to the SRB measure.
