Abstract
Equilibrium states for geodesic flows over compact rank 1 manifolds
and sufficiently regular potential functions were studied recently by
Burns, Climenhaga, Fisher and myself. We showed that if the higher
rank set does not carry full topological pressure then the
equilibrium state is unique. In this talk, I will describe new joint
work with Ben Call, which shows that these equilibrium states have
the Kolmogorov property. When the manifold has dimension at least 3
(for example, the interesting case of the Gromov example of a graph
manifold) this is a new result even for the Knieper-Bowen-Margulis
measure of maximal entropy.
