Density of hyperbolicity and homoclinic bifurcations for attracting topologically hyperbolic sets (Q2479759)

This enlarged and interesting paper deals with the three-dimensional Kupka-Smale diffeomorphisms. The main result of the paper is: Let \(f \in \text{Diff}^2(M^3).\) Let \(H = \bigcap_{n>0} f^n(U)\) be an attracting transitive topologically hyperbolic set exhibiting a dominated splitting \(E_1 \oplus E_2 \oplus E_3\) such that \(E_1 \oplus E_2\) is topologically contractive and \(E_3\) is topologically expansive. Let us also assume that \(H\) is normally dissipative and all the periodic points in \(H\) are hyperbolic. Then either \(H\) is hyperbolic or there exists \(g\) \(C^1\)-arbitrary close to \(f\) exhibiting a heterodimensional cycle in \(U\). The paper is well written and organized.
