Burns–Climenhaga–Todd conjectures on Lyapunov exponent level sets

Let (T1M,ft)(T^1M,f^t) be the geodesic flow on a compact rank 11 surface of nonpositive curvature. For α0\alpha\geq 0, let L(α)L(\alpha) be the level set of Lyapunov exponents, and write h(Z,T)=h(Z,T)=h(Z,T)h(Z,T)=\underline{h}(Z,T)=\overline{h}(Z,T) when the lower and upper entropies agree. Burns–Climenhaga–Todd conjectures. When α>0\alpha>0,

dimH(L(α))=dimP(L(α))=1+2h(L(α),T)α.\dim_H(L(\alpha))=\dim_P(L(\alpha))=1+2\frac{h(L(\alpha),T)}{\alpha}.

When α=0\alpha=0,

dimH(L(0))=dimP(L(0))=3.\dim_H(L(0))=\dim_P(L(0))=3.

These conjectures concern the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of Lyapunov exponent level sets for geodesic flows on compact rank 11 surfaces of nonpositive curvature. The surrounding discussion presents point-to-set principles as a way to study such noncompact or dynamically nonuniform level sets, without requiring compactness, invariance, or an invariant measure; the supplied text does not state whether these conjectures have been resolved.
