Self-adjoint Laplacians on partially and generalized hyperbolic attractors

We construct self-adjoint Laplacians and symmetric Markov semigroups on partially hyperbolic attractors and on hyperbolic attractors with singularities, endowed with Gibbs u-measures. If the measure has full support, we can also guarantee the existence of an associated symmetric Hunt diffusion process. In the special case of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms induced by geodesic flows on manifolds of negative sectional curvature the Laplacians we consider are self-adjoint extensions of well-known classical leafwise Laplacians.

Self-adjoint Laplacians and symmetric diffusions on hyperbolic attractors

We construct self-adjoint Laplacians and symmetric Markov semigroups on hyperbolic attractors, endowed with Gibbs $u$-measures. If the measure has full support, we can also conclude the existence of an associated symmetric diffusion process. In the special case of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms induced by geodesic flows on negatively curved manifolds the Laplacians we consider are self-adjoint extensions of well-known classical leafwise Laplacians. We observe a quasi-invariance property of energy densities in the $u$-conformal case and the existence of nonconstant functions of zero energy.
