Abstract

In 1991 Llibre and MacKay proved that if ff is a 2-torus homeomorphism isotopic to identity and the rotation set of ff has a non empty interior then ff has positive topological entropy. Here, we give a converselike theorem. We show that the interior of the rotation set of a 2-torus C1+αC^{1+ \alpha} diffeomorphism isotopic to identity of positive topological entropy is not empty, under the additional hypotheses that ff is topologically transitive and irreducible. We also give examples that show that these hypotheses are necessary.
