Abstract In this paper, we study the centralizer of a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism on ${\mathbb T}^3$ which is homotopic to an Anosov automorphism, and we show that either its centralizer is virtually trivial or such diffeomorphism is smoothly conjugate to its linear part.

AbstractWe introduce a notion of autonomous dynamical systems which generalizes algebraic dynamical systems. We show by giving examples and by describing some properties that this generalization is not a trivial one. We apply the methods then developed to algebraic Anosov systems. We prove that a C1-submanifold of finite volume, which is invariant by an algebraic Anosov system is ‘essentially’ algebraic.

We consider solutions of Lagrangian variational problems with linear constraints on the derivative. More precisely, given a smooth distribution D ⊂ TM on M and a time-dependent Lagrangian L defined on D, we consider an action functional L defined on the set ΩPQ(M, D) of horizontal curves in M connecting two fixed submanifolds P, Q ⊂ M. Under suitable assumptions, the set ΩPQ(M, D) has the structure of a smooth Banach manifold and we can thus study the critical points of L. If the Lagrangian L satisfies an appropriate hyper-regularity condition, we associate to it a degenerate Hamiltonian H on TM* using a general notion of Legendre transform for maps on vector bundles. We prove that the solutions of the Hamilton equations of H are precisely the critical points of L. In the particular case where L is given by the quadratic form corresponding to a positive-definite metric on D, we obtain the well-known characterization of the normal geodesics in sub-Riemannian geometry (see [8]). By adding a potential energy term to L, we obtain again the equations of motion for the Vakonomic mechanics with non-holonomic constraints (see [6]).
