Genericity of nonuniform hyperbolicity in dimension 3

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For a generic conservative diffeomorphism of a 3-manifold M, the Oseledets splitting is a globally dominated splitting. Moreover, either all Lyapunov exponents vanish almost everywhere, or else the system is non-uniformly hyperbolic and ergodic. This is the 3-dimensional version of a well-known result by Ma~n'e-Bochi, stating that a generic conservative surface diffeomorphism is either Anosov or all Lyapunov exponents vanish almost everywhere. This result inspired and answers in the positive for dimension 3 a conjecture by Avila and Bochi. We also prove that all partially hyperbolic sets with positive measure and center dimension one have a strong homoclinic intersection. This implies that Cr generically for any r, a diffeomorphism contains no proper partially hyperbolic sets with positive measure and center dimension one.


The author generalizes a result of Mañé-Bochi in dimension 2 to the 3-dimensional setting. More precisely, Mañé and Bochi proved that for a generic conservative surface diffeomorphism, either all its Lyapunov exponents of almost points are zero or it is Anosov. In the present paper, the author shows that for a generic conservative diffeomorphism of a closed connected 3-manifold \(M\), the Oseledets splitting is globally dominated. Moreover, either all Lyapunov exponents vanish almost everywhere, or it is nonuniformly hyperbolic and ergodic.
