On the Cohomology of Anosov Actions

  • Chapter
Rigidity in Dynamics and Geometry

Abstract

The goal of this survey is to present recent cohomological results in the theory of Anosov actions, as well as to show how they are related to other results in the field. Due to constraints of space, the presentation is biased toward results related to our work.
