A singular-hyperbolic closing Lemma (Q2519151)

The paper provides a further investigation on the dynamics of singular-hyperbolic sets for flows generated by vector fields on compact connected boundaryless \(3\)-dimensional manifolds. Here, singular-hyperbolic sets are partially hyperbolic sets with hyperbolic singularities and a volume-expanding central subbundle. Two main theorems are shown: (A) Every recurrent point contained in an attracting singular-hyperbolic set is approximated either by periodic points or by points for which the \(\omega\)-limit set is a singularity. (B) On every compact \(3\)-manifold there exists a \(C^\infty\)-vector field that exhibits an attracting singular-hyperbolic set with a regular recurrent point that cannot be approximated by periodic points.
