Many intermingled basins in dimension 3

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We construct a diffeomorphism of mathbbT3 admitting any finite or countable number of physical measures with intermingled basins. The examples are partially hyperbolic with splitting TmathbbT3=EcsoplusEu and can be made volume hyperbolic and topologically mixing.


In [\textit{I. Kan}, Bull. Am. Math. Soc., New Ser. 31, No. 1, 68--74 (1994; Zbl 0853.58077)] an example of disjoint attractors with intermingled basins of attraction was presented. The example possesses two invariant measures, which are generic for positive Lebesgue measure subsets of the manifold while these sets are intermingled in the sense that their Lebesgue density points are dense in one another. In this paper, the authors give examples of 3-dimensional diffeomorphisms, which are partially hyperbolic (but not strongly partially hyperbolic) and have an arbitrary large number of intermingled measure. This is the answer to the problem posed in [\textit{I. Melbourne} and \textit{A. Windsor}, Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 25, No. 6, 1951--1959 (2005; Zbl 1161.37305)].
