Abstract
We analyze three-dimensional diffeomorphisms () exhibiting a quadratic focus-saddle homoclinic tangency whose multipliers satisfy . For a proper three-parameter unfolding that splits the tangency, varies the argument of the stable multipliers, and controls the modulus , 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 can be -approximated by a diffeomorphism exhibiting a coindex-one heterodimensional cycle in the saddle case.
