TL;DR
This work develops non-stationary normal coordinates around Pesin stable manifolds by extending the GK/KKS non-stationary normal-form framework to a neighborhood that includes normal directions, using jets to control transversal behavior. By formulating a non-autonomous dynamics on $ bR^d$ with a Lyapunov-decomposed linear part and introducing a jet-equivalence calculus, the authors prove that, after appropriate coordinate changes, the $oldsymbol{ extell}$-jets of the dynamics lie in a finite-dimensional Lie group of sub-resonance generated polynomial automorphisms, with the nonlinearity uniquely determined up to this group. In the Pesin setting, this yields Lyapunov-adapted coordinates in which the transversal dynamics are governed by the same finite-dimensional structure and the coordinate changes grow sub-exponentially, enabling a geometric description of stable and unstable foliations through jet data. The result provides a robust framework for fractal geometric analysis of foliations and suggests applications to rigidity and statistical properties (e.g., mixing) in smooth dynamical systems, including potential use in analyzing holonomy regularity via jet-level descriptions.
Abstract
We construct non-stationary normal coordinates in a neighborhood of Pesin stable manifolds \cite{Pesin}. This construction is a natural extension, via jets in the normal directions, of the non-stationary normal coordinates on stable manifolds introduced by Guysinsky and Katok. We emphasize that this extension provides a useful framework for describing the fractal geometric structures of stable and unstable foliations in smooth dynamical systems.
