HOMOCLINIC CLASSES AND FINITUDE OF ATTRACTORS FOR VECTOR FIELDS ON $n$ -MANIFOLDS

Abstract: A homoclinic class of a vector field is the closure of the transverse homoclinic orbits associated to a hyperbolic periodic orbit. An attractor is a transitive set to which every positive nearby orbit converges; likewise, every negative nearby orbit converges to a repeller. It is shown in this paper that a generic C 1 vector field on a closed n-manifold has either infinitely many homoclinic classes, or a finite collection of attractors (or, respectively, repellers) with basins that form an open-dense set. This… Show more

“…In such examples the classes are either (a) contained in the closure of an infinite set of sinks or sources, or else (b) obtained by considering the product of a three dimensional diffeomorphism f exhibiting a wild class accumulated by (say) sinks by a strong expansion. In case (b) one obtains a diffeomorphism F having a normally hyperbolic wild homoclinic class accumulated by saddles (in this case the dimension of the ambient manifold is at least 4), see [BD 2 ,BDP,CM]. But the existence of wild homoclinic classes accumulated only by infinitely many true saddles (i.e., not obtained via a product) remains an open problem.…”

“…We remark that examples in [3] and [8] respectively show that neither alternative (b) nor alternative (c) can be removed from the statement of Corollary B.1 for dimensions n 4. Alternative (a) of course cannot be removed due to the existence of omega-stable diffeomorphisms.…”

“…Homoclinic classes are the natural candidates to replace hyperbolic basic sets in nonhyperbolic theory. Several recent papers (including Diaz, Pujals and Ures [10], Bonatti, Diaz and Pujals [5], Carballo and Morales [8], and Carballo, Morales and Pacifico [9]) explore their "hyperbolic-like" properties, many of which hold only for generic diffeomorphisms. This paper adopts a similar viewpoint.…”
