Abstract

In this paper we prove that on an Anosov manifold the space of symmetric m-tensor fields of vanishing energy is finite dimensional modulo the space of potential tensor fields for an arbitrary m and coincides with the latter for m=0 and m=1. For m=2 this question relates to the spectral rigidity problem.
