Up, down, two-sided Lorenz attractor, collisions, merging and switching
We present a slightly modified version of the well known "geometric Lorenz attractor". It consists in a C1 open set O of vector fields in R3 having an attracting region U containing: (1) a unique singular saddle point sigma; (2) a unique attractor Lambda containing the singular point; (3) the maximal invariant in U contains at most 2 chain recurrence classes, which are Lambda and (at most) one hyperbolic horseshoe. The horseshoe and the singular attractor have a collision along the union of 2 co-dimension 1 sub-manifolds which divide O in 3 regions. By crossing this collision locus, the attractor and the horseshoe may merge in a two-sided Lorenz attractor, or they may exchange their nature:…
On a quadratic form associated with the nilpotent part of the monodromy of a curve
Minor correction on the metadata of one of the authors. The rest is exactly the same; We study the nilpotent part of certain pseudoperiodic automorphisms of surfaces appearing in singularity theory. We associate a quadratic form $\tilde{Q}$ defined on the first (relative to the boundary) homology group of the Milnor fiber $F$ of any germ analytic curve on a normal surface. Using the twist formula and techniques from mapping class group theory, we prove that the form $\tilde{Q}$ obtained after killing ${\ker N}$ is definite positive, and that its restriction to the absolute homology group of $F$ is even whenever the Nielsen-Thurston graph of the monodromy automorphism is a tree. The form $\t…
Minimal number of periodic orbits for nonsingular Morse-Smale flows in odd dimension
We compute the minimal number p_min of closed orbits of any Morse-Smale flow on any compact odd-dimensional manifold with boundary in terms of some given homological information. The underlying algorithm is based on optimization theory in network flows and transport systems. Such a number p_min is a lower bound in the general case but we provide, for any initial homological data, a Morse-Smale model for which p_min is attained. We also apply our techniques to the problem of the continuation of Lyapnov graphs to Lyapnov graphs of Smale type.
Anomalous partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms III: Abundance and incoherence
Let $M$ be a closed 3-manifold which admits an Anosov flow. In this paper we develop a technique for constructing partially hyperbolic representatives in many mapping classes of $M$. We apply this technique both in the setting of geodesic flows on closed hyperbolic surfaces and for Anosov flows which admit transverse tori. We emphasize the similarity of both constructions through the concept of $h$-transversality, a tool which allows us to compose different mapping classes while retaining partial hyperbolicity. In the case of the geodesic flow of a closed hyperbolic surface $S$ we build stably ergodic, partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms whose mapping classes form a subgroup of the mapping…
