Abstract

We prove that every C1C^1 generic three-dimensional flow has either infinitely many sinks, or, infinitely many hyperbolic or singular-hyperbolic attractors whose basins form a full Lebesgue measure set. We also prove in the orientable case that the set of accumulation points of the sinks of a C1C^1 generic three-dimensional flow has no dominated splitting with respect to the linear Poincar\'e flow. As a corollary we obtain that every three-dimensional flow can be C1C^1 approximated by flows with homoclinic tangencies or by singular-Axiom A flows.
