Abstract

We consider Anosov actions of ℝk, k≥2, on a closed connected orientable manifold M, of codimension one, i.e. such that the unstable foliation associated to some element of ℝk has dimension one. We prove that if the ambient manifold has dimension greater than k+2, then the action is topologically transitive. This generalizes a result of Verjovsky for codimension-one Anosov flows.
