In this thesis we discuss some applications of the theory of Anosov systems to nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. In particular, we perform a perturbative check of the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation relation for a simple Anosov system; we find that the lack of differentiability of the time reversal operator implies a violation of the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation relation.
