Abstract

We consider the class of C1C^1 partially hyperbolic volume-preserving flows with one-dimensional central direction endowed with the C1C^1-Whitney topology. We prove that, within this class, any flow can be approximated by an ergodic C2C^2 volume-preserving flow and so, as a consequence, ergodicity is dense.
