Symplectic partially hyperbolic automorphisms of 6-torus

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study topological properties of automorphisms of a 6-dimensional torus generated by integer matrices symplectic with respect to either the standard symplectic structure in six-dimensional linear space or a nonstandard symplectic structure given by an integer skew-symmetric non-degenerate matrix. Such a symplectic matrix generates a partially hyperbolic automorphism of the torus, if it has eigenvalues both outside and on the unit circle. We study the case (2,2,2), numbers are dimensions of stable, center and unstable subspaces of the matrix. We study transitive and decomposable cases possible here and present a classification in both cases.


The aim of this paper is to give a detailed description and classification of automorphisms of the 6-torus which preserve a symplectic form and have at least one eigenvalue of modulus larger than one (these are called partially hyperbolic since they may admit eigenvalues of modulus one). The classification involves understanding the possible closures of the eigenspaces associated to the eigenvalues of modulus different from 1 after projection to the torus.
