Abstract

A Riemannian metric is adapted to a hyperbolic set of a diffeomorphism if, in this metric, the expansion/contraction of the unstable/stable directions is seen after only one iteration. A dominated splitting is a notion of weak hyperbolicity where the tangent bundle of the manifold splits in invariant subbundles such that the vector expansion on one bundle is uniformly smaller than that on the next bundle. The existence of an adapted metric for a dominated splitting has been considered by Hirsch, Pugh and Shub (M. Hisch, C. Pugh and M. Shub. Invariant Manifolds(Lecture Notes in Mathematics, 583). Springer, Berlin, 1977). This paper gives a complete answer to this problem, building adapted metrics for dominated splittings and partially hyperbolic splittings in arbitrarily many subbundles of arbitrary dimensions. These results stand for diffeomorphisms and for flows.
