We develop the nonuniformly hyperbolic theory for $C^1$ diffeomorphisms admitting continuous invariant splitting without domination. This framework includes stable manifold theorems, shadowing and closing lemmas, the existence of horseshoes…
We construct examples of robustly transitive and stably ergodic partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms $f$ on compact $3$-manifolds with fundamental groups of exponential growth such that $f^n$ is not homotopic to identity for all $n>0$.…
We prove that a partially hyperbolic attractor for a $C^1$ vector field with two dimensional center supports an SRB measure. In addition, we show that if the vector field is $C^2$, and the center bundle admits the sectional expanding…
Let $f$ be a $C^2$ diffeomorphism on compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with partially hyperbolic splitting $$ TM=E^u\oplus E_1^c\oplus\cdots\oplus E_k^c \oplus E^s, $$ where $E^u$ is uniformly expanding, $E^s$ is uniformly contracting, and…
We give explicit $C^1$-open conditions that ensure that a diffeomorphism possesses a nonhyperbolic ergodic measure with positive entropy. Actually, our criterion provides the existence of a partially hyperbolic compact set with…
A partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f$ has quasi-shadowing property if for any pseudo orbit ${x_k}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}$, there is a sequence of points ${y_k}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}$ tracing it in which $y_{k+1}$ is obtained from $f(y_k)$ by a…
Pugh and Shub have conjectured that essential accessibility implies ergodicity, for a $C^2$, partially hyperbolic, volume-preserving diffeomorphism. We prove this conjecture under a mild center bunching assumption, which is satsified by all…
We show that the time-1 map of an Anosov flow, whose strong-unstable foliation is $C^2$ smooth and minimal, is $C^2$ close to a diffeomorphism having positive central Lyapunov exponent Lebesgue almost everywhere and a unique physical…
In this paper we are considering partially hyperbolic diffeomorphims of the torus, with $dim(E^c) > 1.$ We prove, under some conditions, that if the all center Lyapunov exponents of the linearization $A,$ of a \mbox{DA-diffeomorphism} $f,$…
We show that a stably ergodic diffeomorphism can be $C^1$ approximated by a diffeomorphism having stably non-zero Lyapunov exponents.
We prove that the set of diffeomorphisms having at most finitely many attractors contains a dense and open subset of the space of $C^1$ partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one-dimensional center. This is obtained thanks to a robust…
The center bundle of a conservative partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f$ is called robustly non-hyperbolic if any conservative diffeomorphism which is $C^1$-close to $f$ has non-hyperbolic center bundle. In this paper, we prove that…
We show stable ergodicity of a class of conservative diffeomorphisms which do not have any hyperbolic invariant subbundle. Moreover the uniqueness of SRB measures for non-conservative $C^1$ perturbations of such diffeomorphisms. This class…
We answer a question of Burns and Wilkinson, showing that there are open families of volume-preserving partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms which are accessible and center bunched and neither dynamically coherent nor Anosov. We also show in…
We establish the existence of Young structures for a broad class of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with a splitting $TM = E^{cs} \oplus E^{uu}$, under exactly the same conditions that ensure the existence of SRB measures in a previous…
We develop a general geometric method to establish the existence of positive Lyapunov exponents for a class of skew products. The technique is applied to show non-uniform hyperbolicity of some conservative partially hyperbolic…
We consider hyperbolic and partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. Associated with invariant foliation of these systems, we define some topological invariants and show certain relationships between these topological…
We show that within a $C^1$-neighbourhood $\mathcal{U}$ of the set of volume preserving Anosov diffeomorphisms on the three-torus $\mathbb{T}^3$ which are strongly partially hyperbolic with expanding center, any…
We introduce the notion of nonuniform center bunching for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphims, and extend previous results by Burns--Wilkinson and Avila--Santamaria--Viana. Combining this new technique with other constructions, we prove…
We study $C^1$-generic vector fields on closed manifolds without points accumulated by periodic orbits of different indices and prove that they exhibit finitely many sinks and sectional-hyperbolic transitive Lyapunov stable sets with…
