Topological obstructions for robustly transitive endomorphisms on surfaces (Q822698)

The authors show that every robustly transitive surface endomorphism displaying critical points is a partially hyperbolic endomorphism and that the only surfaces that might admit robustly transitive endomorphisms are either the torus \(\mathbb{T}^2\) or the Klein bottle \(\mathbb{K}^2\). They also prove that the action of a transitive endomorphism admitting a dominated splitting in the first homology group of the surface has at least one eigenvalue with modulus larger than one.
