Abstract

We prove that for C1C^1 generic diffeomorphisms, if a homoclinic class H(P)H(P) contains two hyperbolic periodic orbits of indices ii and i+ki+k respectively and H(P)H(P) has no domination of index jj for any j{i+1,,i+k1}j\in\{i+1,\cdots,i+k-1\}, then there exists a non-hyperbolic ergodic measure whose (i+l)th(i+l)^{th} Lyapunov exponent vanishes for any l{1,,k}l\in\{1,\cdots, k\}, and whose support is the whole homoclinic class. We also prove that for C1C^1 generic diffeomorphisms, if a homoclinic class H(P)H(P) has a dominated splitting of the form EFGE\oplus F\oplus G, such that the center bundle FF has no finer dominated splitting, and H(p)H(p) contains a hyperbolic periodic orbit Q1Q_1 of index dim(E)\dim(E) and a hyperbolic periodic orbit Q2Q_2 whose absolute Jacobian along the bundle FF is strictly less than 11, then there exists a non-hyperbolic ergodic measure whose Lyapunov exponents along the center bundle FF all vanish and whose support is the whole homoclinic class.
