Abstract

‘Bunching’ conditions on an Anosov system guarantee the regularity of the Anosov splitting up to C2−ε. Open dense sets of symplectic Anosov systems and geodesic flows do not have Anosov splitting exceeding the asserted regularity. This is the first local construction of low-regularity examples.
