Topologie du feuilletage fortement stable
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 50 (2000) no. 3, pp. 981-993.

Let X be a Hadamard manifold with curvature -1 and Γ be a non elementary isometry group acting freely properly discontinuously on X. We are interested in the topology of the leaves of the strong stable foliation on T 1 (ΓX). We establish equivalences between the non arithmeticity of Γ (i.e. the group generated by the length spectrum of ΓX is dense in ), the existence of a dense leaf in the non wandering set Ω X of and the topological mixing of the geodesic flow on its non wandering set. Our proof uses the action of Γ on X() and the relation between cross-ratio and length spectrum.In the case when Γ is not arithmetic, we prove that Γ is geometrically finite if and only if leaves in Ω X are dense or are associated to bounded parabolic fixed points (such leaves are closed).

Soient X une variété de Hadamard de courbure -1 et Γ un groupe d’isométries non élémentaire. Nous montrons qu’il y a équivalence entre la non-arithméticité du spectre des longueurs de ΓX, le mélange topologique du flot géodésique et l’existence d’une feuille dense pour le feuilletage fortement stable.
