Homoclinic bifurcations, fat attractors and invariant curves (Q1811367)

Let us consider a \(C^\infty\) diffeomorphism \(f:M\to M\), \(M\) is a compact manifold, \(\dim M=m\geq 3\), which has a fixed hyperbolic point \(p\) and \(r\in W^s(p)\cap W^u(p)-\{p\}\) is a homoclinic point, such that \(\dim W^u(p)=u\), where \(2\leq u\leq m-1\). Examples of homoclinic bifurcations which can be perturbed to produce invariant curves and attractors with high Hausdorff dimension are presented. To this aim a class of triangular twisted homoclinic tangency (TTHT) homoclinic points is defined which have codimension \(h=m+s+(u+2)(u-1)/2\), where \(s= \dim W^s(p)\). The author proves that, in a generic \(h\)-parameter family \(f_\mu\), \(\mu\in\mathbb{R}^h\), unfolding transversely a TTHT at \(\mu=0\), there exists a set \(U\subset\mathbb{R}^h\), such that for \(\mu\in U\), \(f_\mu\) exhibits \(u\)-fat attractors \(\Lambda\), i.e., the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor \(\Lambda\) satisfies \(u\leq\dim_H\Lambda\leq u+1\).
