Abstract

Let ff be a non-invertible partially hyperbolic endomorphism on T2\mathbb{T}^2 which is derived from a non-expanding Anosov endomorphism. Differing from the case of diffeomorphisms derived from Anosov automorphisms, there is no a priori semi-conjugacy between ff and its linearization on T2\mathbb{T}^2. We show that ff is semi-conjugate to its linearization if and only if ff admits the partially hyperbolic splitting with two DfDf-invariant subbundles. Moreover, if we assume that ff has the unstable subbundle, then the semi-conjugacy is exactly a topological conjugacy, and the center Lyapunov exponents of periodic points of ff coincide and equal to the stable Lyapunov exponent of its linearization. In particular, ff is an Anosov endomorphism and the conjugacy is smooth along the stable foliation. For the case that ff has the stable subbundle, there is still some rigidity on its stable Lyapunov exponents. However, we also give examples which admit the partially hyperbolic splitting with the center subbundle but the semi-conjugacy is indeed non-injective. Finally, We present some applications for the conservative case. In particular, we show that if ff is volume-preserving and semi-conjugate to its linear part, then the semi-conjugacy is actually a smooth conjugacy.
