Singular robustly chain transitive sets are singular volume partial hyperbolic (Q2288002)

The author shows that robustly chain transitive sets of flows have the property of singular volume partial hyperbolicity. This property, which can be seen as a weak form of hyperbolicity, is useful to characterize robust behavior of flows that may have singularities. The main result of the article is the following theorem. Let \(\mathcal U\, \subset\, \mathcal X^1(M)\) be a \(C^1\) open set such that, for every \(X \,\in \,\mathcal U\) there is an open set \(U\) of \(M\) such that the chain recurrence class \(C\) is robustly chain transitive in \(U\). Then \(X\) is singular volume partial hyperbolic in \(U\).
