Analytic and Probabilistic Approaches to Dynamics in Negative Curvature

The work consists of two introductory courses, developing different points of view on the study of the asymptotic behaviour of the geodesic flow, namely: the probabilistic approach via martingales and mixing (by Stéphane Le Borgne); the semi—classical approach, by operator theory and resonances (by Frédéric Faure and Masato Tsujii). The contributions aim to give a self—contained introduction to the ideas behind the three different approaches to the investigation of hyperbolic dynamics. The ...
