On bi-Lyapunov stable homoclinic classes (Q354699)

\textit{S. Smale}'s spectral decomposition theorem [Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 73, 747--817 (1967; Zbl 0202.55202)] gives a complete description of the structure of Axiom A diffeomorphisms. It is conjectured that some of the features of Smale's theorem hold generically for some general diffeomorphisms. In the paper under review, the authors study the bi-Lyapunov stable homoclinic classes for generic diffeomorphisms. They prove that for a generic map \(f\), if a bi-Lyapunov stable homoclinic class \(\Lambda\) is homogeneous (the dimension of the stable subspace of all periodic points is the same), then there exists \(\delta>0\) such that any periodic point in \(\Lambda\) has no \(\delta\)-weak eigenvalue. Moreover, they show that \(\Lambda\) is uniformly hyperbolic under some extra assumption.
