Dmitri Victorovich Anosov (Russian: Дми́трий Ви́кторович Ано́сов; November 30, 1936 – August 7, 2014) was a Russian mathematician active during the Soviet Union, he is best known for his contributions to dynamical systems theory. He was a full member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a laureate of the USSR State Prize (1976). He was a student of Lev Pontryagin. In 2014, he died at the age of 77. (Wikipedia).

Dalia Terhesiu: Limit theorems for Almost Anosov flows
Abstract: An almost Anosov flow is a flow having continuous flow-invariant splitting of the tangent bundle with exponential expansion/contraction in the unstable/stable direction, except for a finite number (in our case a single) periodic orbits. Roughly, almost Anosov flows are perturbed
