Unstable manifolds for endomorphisms (Q1392635): Difference between revisions

The theory of stable and unstable manifolds developed in the sixties became classical for uniformly hyperbolic diffeomorphisms and was extended later for invariant manifolds of nonuniformly hyperbolic diffeomorphisms corresponding to their non-vanishing Lyapunov exponents. The present paper studies these objects for the case of endomorphisms. Let \(F:M\to M\) be a \(C^2\) map with an invariant probability measure \(\mu\) such that \(\log| \text{det}(T_xf)| \in L^1(M,\mu)\). The main result of the paper is the construction of the local unstable manifolds for this kind of maps. Questions related to global unstable sets are discussed as well.
