Persistence of laminations (Q632519)

An invariant lamination for a dynamical system \(f\) is called \(r\)-normally hyperbolic if the normal space of its leaves splits into two \(Tf\)-invariant subspaces on which \(Tf\) contracts (or expands) \(r\) times more sharply than on tangent spaces of the leaves. The classical Hirsch-Pugh-Shub theorem established the \(C^r\) persistence of \(r\)-normally hyperbolic laminations with the property of plaque expansivity. The author generalizes this result to the cases of endomorphisms, holomorphic endomorphisms and complex laminations, and noncompact laminations.
