Dynamics on fences
Abstract
Homeomorphisms of the Cantor set play a central role in topology, dynamical systems and descriptive set theory. In parallel, several classes of fence-like spaces - such as the hairy Cantor set, hairy arcs, Cantor bouquets in complex dynamics, the Lelek fan in topology and Fra\"iss\'e fence in descriptive set theory - have recently been studied for their rich structural and dynamical properties. In this paper, we introduce a general construction that associates to each homeomorphism of the Cantor set a canonically defined homeomorphism of a corresponding fence space. This construction lifts dynamical properties from the Cantor set to these fence-like spaces, allowing one to systematically transfer features such as minimality, recurrence, and orbit structure. As a consequence, we obtain a unified framework for studying dynamics on a broad class of fence-like spaces and establish new connections between their topological structure and induced dynamical behavior.
