Uniformly expanding invariant foliations

We discuss different ways to measure how a diffeomorphism expands an invariant foliations and relations between them. The examples we have in mind are hyperbolic and partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. Some applications are the construction of non-absolutely continuous foliations with non-compact leaves and the study of continuity properties of entropy for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with low dimensional center.
