Abstract

We will discuss the following result. For a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism of a 3-dimensional compact manifold:
 -- Stable and unstable leaves are quasi-isometrically embedded in the universal cover of the manifold;

 -- Central, central-stable, and central-unstable distributions are uniquely  integrable;

 -- The induced map in 1-dimensional homologies is partially hyperbolic.

In particular, there is no partially hyperbolic dynamics on the 3-sphere.
