Abstract

We analyze three-dimensional CrC^{r} diffeomorphisms (r5r\ge 5) exhibiting a quadratic focus-saddle homoclinic tangency whose multipliers satisfy λγ=1|\lambda\gamma| = 1. For a proper three-parameter unfolding that splits the tangency, varies the argument of the stable multipliers, and controls the modulus λγ|\lambda\gamma|, we show that a Hopf bifurcation occurs on this curve and that a homoclinic point to the bifurcating periodic orbit is present. As a consequence, the original map ff can be CrC^{r}-approximated by a diffeomorphism exhibiting a coindex-one heterodimensional cycle in the saddle case.
