Hyperbolic systems on nilpotent covers
Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France, Volume 131 (2003) no. 2, p. 267-287

We study the ergodicity of the weak and strong stable foliations of hyperbolic systems on nilpotent covers. Subshifts of finite type and geodesic flows on negatively curved manifolds are also considered.

Nous étudions les propriétés ergodiques des feuilletages stables forts et faibles des systèmes hyperboliques définis sur un revêtement nilpotent. Les chaînes de Markov et les flots géodésiques en courbure négative sont aussi étudiés.
