Continuum-wise hyperbolicity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce continuum-wise hyperbolicity, a generalization of hyperbolicity with respect to the continuum theory. We discuss similarities and differences between topological hyperbolicity and continuum-wise hyperbolicity. A shadowing lemma for cw-hyperbolic homeomorphisms is proved in the form of the L-shadowing property and a Spectral Decomposition is obtained in this scenario. In the proof we generalize the construction of Fathi cite{Fat89} of a hyperbolic metric using only cw-expansivity, obtaining a hyperbolic cw-metric. We also introduce cwN-hyperbolicity, exhibit examples of these systems for arbitrarily large NinmathbbN and obtain further dynamical properties of these systems such as finiteness of periodic points with the same period. We prove that homeomorphisms of mathbbS2 that are induced by topologically hyperbolic homeomorphisms of mathbbT2 are continuum-wise-hyperbolic and topologically conjugate to linear cw-Anosov diffeomorphisms of mathbbS2, being in particular cw2-hyperbolic.


The authors introduce the concept of continuum-wise hyperbolicity, which extends the notion of hyperbolicity w.r.t. the continuum theory. This involves a discussion of similarities and differences between topological hyperbolicity and continuum-wise hyperbolicity. On this basis, a shadowing lemma for cw-hyperbolic homeomorphisms is established in the form of the \(L\)-shadowing property and also a spectral decomposition is obtained in this framework. The proof requires to generalize a previous construction of a hyperbolic metric using only cw-expansivity, resulting in a hyperbolic cw-metric. In addition, the notion of cw\(N\)-hyperbolicity, \(N\in{\mathbb N}\), is introduced and illustrated using examples, such as hyperbolic homeomorphisms on \({\mathbb S}^2\). Persistence of these hyperbolicity notions under topological conjugacy is shown. Moreover, one finds characterizations in terms of expansivity and shadowing properties.
