Anosov actions of nilpotent Lie groups

We study Anosov actions of nilpotent Lie groups on closed manifolds. Our main result is a generalization to the nilpotent case of a classical theorem by J.F. Plante in the 70ʹs. More precisely, we prove that, for what we call a good Anosov action of a nilpotent Lie group on a closed manifold, if the non-wandering set is the entire manifold, then the closure of stable strong leaves coincide with the closure of the strong unstable leaves. This implies the existence of an equivariant fibration of the manifold onto a homogeneous space of the Lie group, having as fibers the closures of the leaves of the strong foliation.
