Abstract: We show that if (X, f) is a locally connected Smale space such that the local product structure on X can be lifted by a covering with virtually nilpotent group of deck transformations to a global direct product, then (X, f) is topologically conjugate to a hyperbolic infra-nilmanifold automorphism. We use this result to give a generalization to Smale spaces of a theorem of M. Brin and A. Manning on Anosov diffeomorphisms with pinched spectrum, and to show that every locally connected codimension one Smale space is topologically conjugate to a hyperbolic automorphism of a torus.

Review text

A Smale space is a compact metrizable space \(\mathcal X\) together with a homeomorphism preserving a local product structure such that \(f\) acts as a contraction on stable leaves and as an expansion on unstable leaves. The main result of the paper is that if \((\mathcal X, f)\) is a locally connected Smale space such that the local product structure on \(\mathcal X\) can be lifted by a covering with virtually nilpotent group of deck transformations to a global direct product, then \((\mathcal X, f)\) is topologically conjugate to a hyperbolic infra-nilmanifold automorphism.
