Abstract

We prove the long-standing Eckmann-Ruelle conjecture in dimension theory of smooth dynamical systems. Namely, we show that the pointwise dimension exists almost everywhere with respect to a Borel probability measure with non-zero Lyapunov exponents invariant under a C1+α diffeomorphism of a smooth Riemannian manifold. This implies in particular that the Hausdorff dimension and box dimension of the measure as well as some other characteristics of dimension type of the measure coincide.
