Extract
The aim of this note is to construct “involutive” Markov families for geodesic flows of negative curvature. Roughly speaking, a Markov family for a flow is a finite family of local cross-sections to the flow with fine boundary conditions. They are basic tools in the study of dynamical systems. In 1973, R. Bowen [5] constructed Markov families for Axiom A flows. Using these families, he reduced the problem of counting periodic orbits of an Axiom A flow to the case of hyperbolic symbolic flows.
