Uniform approximations of volume preserving homeomorphisms of \(\mathbb R^n\) (Q2437646)

Let \(h:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}^n\) be a volume preserving homeomorphism of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) onto itself, and \(W\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n\) a subset of \(\mathbb{R}^n\). The set \(W\) is called wandering if \(W\cap h^n(W)=\emptyset\) for all \(n\geq 1\). The homeomorphism \(h\) is called conservative if the complement in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) of the union of all wandering sets coincides with \(\mathbb{R}^n\) mod \(\mu\). The uniform distance \(d\) between two homeomorphisms \(h\) and \(g\) is defined by \[ d(h,g)= \max\Biggl\{\sup_{x\in\mathbb{R}^n}\| f(x)- g(x)\|,\;\sup_{x\in \mathbb{R}^n}\| f^{-1}(x)- g^{-1}(x)\|\Biggr\}. \] Among other results the authors prove that any conservative volume preserving homeomorphism can be uniformly approximated by a transitive one, i.e., if \(h\) is conservative then for every \(\varepsilon>0\) there exists a transitive volume preserving homeomorphism \(g\) such that \(d(h,g)\leq \varepsilon\).
