Let
f
f
be a
C
2
C^2
partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of
T
3
\mathbb {T}^3
(not necessarily volume preserving or transitive) isotopic to a linear Anosov diffeomorphism
A
A
with eigenvalues
λ
s

λ
c

λ
u
.
\begin{equation*} \lambda _{s}>1>\lambda _{c}>\lambda _{u}. \end{equation*}
Under the assumption that the set
{
x
:
∣
log
det
(
T
f
∣
E
c
u
(
x
)
)
∣≤
log
λ
u
}
\begin{equation*} \{x: \,\mid \log \det (Tf\mid _{E^{cu}(x)})\mid \leq \log \lambda _{u} \} \end{equation*}
has zero volume inside any unstable leaf of
f
f
where
E
c
u
=
E
c
⊕
E
u
E^{cu} = E^c\oplus E^u
is the center unstable bundle, we prove that the stable foliation of
f
f
is
C
1
C^1
robustly minimal, i.e., the stable foliation of any diffeomorphism
C
1
C^1
sufficiently close to
f
f
is minimal. In particular,
f
f
is robustly transitive.
We build, with this criterion, a new example of a
C
1
C^1
open set of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms, for which the strong stable foliation and the strong unstable foliation are both minimal.
