Non-uniformly hyperbolic horseshoes arising from bifurcations of Poincaré heteroclinic cycles (Q1037848)

In this paper the authors present the detail review of the current state on the topic of bifurcations of heteroclinic cycles for smooth, meaning \(C^{\infty}\), parametrized families \(\{g_t | t\in R \}\) of surface diffeomorphisms. Under some assumptions the authors prove that, when the Hausdorff dimension is bigger than one, but not much bigger, then for most \(t, |t|\) small, \(g_t\) is a non-uniformly hyperbolic horseshoe in the neighborhood \(W\), and so \(g_t\) has no attractors in \(W\). Most \(t\), and thus most \(g_t\), here means that \(t\) is taken in a set of parameter values with Lebesgue density one at \(t=0.\)
