Abstract

Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold of (variable) negative curvature. Let h be the topological entropy and h_μ the measure entropy for the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle to M. Estimates for h and h^μ in terms of the ‘geometry’ of M are derived. Connections with and applications to other geometric questions are discussed.
