Eckmann–Ruelle conjecture on pointwise dimensions of hyperbolic measures
Eckmann–Ruelle conjecture on pointwise dimensions of hyperbolic measures
Let be a compact smooth Riemannian manifold, let be a diffeomorphism, and let be a hyperbolic measure. The pointwise dimension of is the limit, when it exists, of
Eckmann–Ruelle conjecture. For any hyperbolic measure of a diffeomorphism , the pointwise dimension exists almost everywhere and is constant.
The conjecture concerns whether hyperbolicity alone guarantees almost-everywhere existence and almost-everywhere constancy of pointwise dimension, extending the established relationships between entropy, Lyapunov exponents, and dimensions for hyperbolic measures. Its resolution status is not specified in the source.
