Generic family displaying robustly a fast growth of the number of periodic points (Q2074739)

The topic of the article is the growth of the set \({\mathrm{Per}^0_n}\) of isolated \(n\)-periodic points for a self-map of a compact manifold. The results relates to some Arnold's problems [\textit{V. I. Arnold} (ed.), Arnold's problems. Translated and revised edition of the 2000 Russian original. Berlin: Springer; Moscow: PHASIS (2004; Zbl 1051.00002)]. The main result states the following. Let \({r\in[1,+\infty)},\) \(k\in\mathbb{N}\) and let \(M\) be a compact manifold with \({\mathrm{dim}\,M\geq2}.\) Then, there exists a non-empty open set \(U\) of \(C^r\)-families \((f_p)_{p\in B_k}\) of \(C^r\)-self-maps \(f_p\) of \(M\) so that for any sequence of integers \((a_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\), a topologically generic \({(f_p)_{p\in B_k}\in U}\) consists of maps \(f_p\) satisfying \[ \limsup\limits_{n\to+\infty}\frac{\mathrm{Per}^0_n(f_p)}{a_n}\geq1, \] for every \(p\) in the unit closet ball \({B_k\subset\mathbb{R}^k}.\) It provides a negative answer to Arnold's problem 1992--13.
