Let M be an n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold of negative sectional curvature. The geodesic flow (pt is a smooth dynamical system on the unit tangent bundle T1M of M, generated by the geodesic spray X. Recall tha t T1M admits four natural foliations W s~, W ~, W s, W s~ which are invariant under the geodesic flow. The leaf W~(v) containing vETIM of the strong stable foliation W ~ consists of all points wETIM with the property tha t the distance between Otw and Otv converges to zero as t--*c~ (where we may use the distance on TIM induced by the Sasaki metric). The leaf W~(v) through v of the stable foliation W ~ is W~(v)=UteR~tw~(v ) , and the strong unstable foliation W ~ (or the unstable foliation W ~) is the image of W ~ (or W ~) under the flip .~: w--*-w. The leaf W~(v) of W i (i=ss, su, s, u) is a smoothly immersed submanifold of TIM depending continuously on v in the C~topo logy (see [Sh]). Moreover the tangent bundle T W i of W ~ is a HSlder-continuous subbundle of TTIM. The purpose of this paper is to investigate ergodic and analytic properties of secondorder differential operators L on TIM with HSlder-continuous coefficients and without zero-order terms which are subordinate to the stable foliation in the following sense:
