Abstract
AbstractUsing the works of Mañé [On the topological entropy of the geodesic flows.J. Differential Geom.45(1989), 74–93] and Paternain [Topological pressure for geodesic flows.Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér.(4)33(2000), 121–138] we study the distribution of geodesic arcs with respect to equilibrium states of the geodesic flow on a closed manifold, equipped with a$\mathcal {C}^{\infty }$Riemannian metric. We prove large-deviation lower and upper bounds and a contraction principle for the geodesic flow in the space of probability measures of the unit tangent bundle. We deduce a way of approximating equilibrium states for continuous potentials.
