Abstract

We introduce a new version of expansiveness for flows. Let MM be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and XX be a C1C^1 vector field on MM that generates a flow φt\varphi_t on MM. We call XX {\it rescaling expansive} on a compact invariant set Λ\Lambda of XX if for any ϵ>0\epsilon>0 there is δ>0\delta>0 such that, for any x,yΛx,y\in \Lambda and any time reparametrization θ:RR\theta:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}, if d(φt(x),φθ(t)(y)δX(φt(x))d(\varphi_t(x), \varphi_{\theta(t)}(y)\le \delta\|X(\varphi_t(x))\| for all tRt\in \mathbb R, then φθ(t)(y)φ[ϵ,ϵ](φt(x))\varphi_{\theta(t)}(y)\in \varphi_{[-\epsilon, \epsilon]}(\varphi_t(x)) for all tRt\in \mathbb R. We prove that every multisingular hyperbolic set (singular hyperbolic set in particular) is rescaling expansive and a converse holds generically.
