Abstract:
We show that for some partially hyperbolic conservative systems, topological mixing implies mixing (and even the Bernoulli property). For three dimensions, we define the concept of \emph{almost robust bernoullicity} and we show that generically among the non-uniformly hyperbolic systems, the almost robust bernoullicity holds. We also verify the bernoulli property in the case of strongly partially hyperbolic systems.
