Robust heterodimensional cycles in two-parameter unfolding of homoclinic tangencies

Dynamical Systems 2026-01-22 v3

Abstract

We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the birth of heterodimensional cycles from a generic homoclinic tangency to a hyperbolic periodic orbit. We prove for CrC^r (r=3,,,ωr=3,\dots,\infty,\omega) dynamical systems on a manifold M\mathcal{M}, with dimM3\dim \mathcal{M}\geqslant 3 for diffeomorphisms and with dimM4\dim \mathcal{M}\geqslant 4 for flows, that C1C^1-robust heterodimensional dynamics of coindex one appear in any generic two-parameter CrC^r unfolding of a homoclinic tangency to a periodic orbit such that at least one central multiplier is not real and the central dynamics are not sectionally dissipative. The heterodimensional dynamics also involve a blender exhibiting C1C^1-robust homoclinic tangencies. As a corollary, any system with a homoclinic tangency of the class described above belongs to the CrC^r closure of the C1C^1-open Newhouse domain.
