Category version of the Poincaré recurrence theorem (Q2643070): Difference between revisions

Given a map \(f:X\to Y\) between topological spaces \(X\) and \(Y,f\) is said to be nearly feebly open if \(\text{Int}\,\overline{f(U)}\) is nonempty for any nonempty open set \(U\subset X\). If \(f:X\to X\) is a selfmap and \(A\subset X\) then \(\text{rec}(A)\) denotes the set \(\{x: x\in A\) and \(f^n(x)\in A\) for infinitely many \(n\in\mathbb{N}\}\). The author extends the Poincaré recurrence theorem to non-invertible maps, proving the following: Let \(X\) be a Baire space and \(f:X\to X\) a continuous nearly feebly open map. If \(f\) has no nonempty open wandering set, then (i) any wandering subset \(A\subset X\) with the property of Baire is of first category. (ii) For any \(A\subset X\) with the property of Baire the difference \(A\setminus\text{rec}(A)\) is of first category.
