Lyapunov exponents and smooth ergodic theory. (English) Zbl 1195.37002

Barreira, Luis; Pesin, Yakov B.

University Lecture Series 23. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (ISBN 0-8218-2921-1/pbk). xii, 151 p. (2001).

This book is a revised and expanded version of the authors’ 86-page survey [in: Smooth ergodic theory and its applications. Proceedings of the AMS summer research institute, Seattle, WA, USA, July 26-August 13, 1999. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS). Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 69, 3–106 (2001; Zbl 0996.37001)]. For the content, we may refer to the review there; the main differences are that this book contains more examples of dynamical systems with nonzero Lyapunov exponents, and that many proofs are given here in full detail.
