| A. Livshits pioneered the study of cohomology for hyperbolic
dynamical systems in the early 1970’s. The simplest question in
this area is that of existence and regularity of a solution g(x) to
a cohomological equation f (x) = g(T x)− g(x), where T : M → M is
a hyperbolic dynamical system, say a transitive Anosov
diffeomorphism, and f is a given function on M , usually Holder
continuous or smooth. Equations of this type appear naturally
in many areas of dynamics. For example, if f (x) is the logarithm
of the Jacobian of T then solving this equation is equivalent to
finding an absolutely continuous invariant measure for T .
We will recall the fundamental results obtained by Livshits: ex-
istence of a continuous solution when the natural periodic ob-
structions vanish and continuity of any measurable solution. We
will then turn to similar questions in a more general and difficult
setting when the functions f and g take values in a group G. |
