Abstract
We establish general criteria for ergodicity and Bernoulliness for volume preserving diffeormorphisms and flows on compact manifolds. We prove that every ergodic component with non-zero Lyapunov exponents of a contact flow is Bernoulli. As an application of our general results, we construct on every compact 3-dimensional manifold a C∞ Riemannian metric whose geodesic flow is Bernoulli.
