Abstract: A diffeomorphism f has a C1-robust homoclinic tangency if there is a C1-neighbourhood cU of f such that every diffeomorphism in gincU has a hyperbolic set Lag, depending continuously on g, such that the stable and unstable manifolds of Lag have some non-transverse intersection. For every manifold of dimension greater than or equal to three, we exhibit a local mechanism (blender-horseshoes) generating diffeomorphisms with C1-robust homoclinic tangencies. Using blender-horseshoes, we prove that homoclinic classes of C1-generic diffeomorphisms containing saddles with different indices and that do not admit dominated splittings (of appropriate dimensions) display C1-robust homoclinic tangencies.


The authors prove that some generic classes of diffeomorphisms have robust homoclinic tangencies. Using their definitions, we say that a diffeomorphism \(f\) has a \(C^1\)-robust homoclinic tangency if there exists a \(C^1\)-neighborhood \(\mathcal{U}\) of \(f\) such that every diffeomorphism in \(g \in \mathcal{U}\) has a hyperbolic set \(\Lambda_g\), depending continuously on \(g\), such that the stable and unstable manifolds of \(\Lambda_g\) have some non-transverse intersections. They show, using a tool called blender-horseshoes, that every manifold of dimension greater than or equal to three generates diffeomorphisms with \(C^1\)-robust homoclinic tangencies and also they prove that homoclinic classes of \(C^1\)-generic diffeomorphisms containing saddles with different indices and that do not admit dominated splittings display \(C^1\)-robust homoclinic tangencies.
