Title: Quantitative global-local mixing for accessible skew products 

Abstract: 
Skew products, or group extensions, over hyperbolic diffeomorphisms are important
examples of partially hyperbolic systems.  Dolgopyat showed that generic compact
extensions of topologically mixing Axiom A diffeomorphisms are rapidly mixing, namely
the decay of correlations of smooth observables is faster than any given polynomial.  

In this talk, we will consider the case of $\mathbb{R}$-extensions.  We will focus on
global-local mixing, one of the possible notions of mixing for infinite measure
preserving systems.  We will present a quantitative mixing result for skew products
which satisfy an accessibility condition; in particular, we will relate the rate of
decay of correlations to the ''low frequency behaviour'' of the spectral measure
associated to our global observables.  

This is a joint work with Paolo Giulietti and Andy Hammerlindl.
