We prove for a generic star vector field $X$ that, if for every chain recurrent class $C$ of $X$ all singularities in $C$ have the same index, then the chain recurrent set of $X$ is singular hyperbolic. We also prove that every Lyapunov…
For Axiom A diffeomorphisms and flows, the celebrated Spectral Decomposition Theorem of Smale states that the non-wandering set decomposes into a finite disjoint union of isolated compact invariant sets, each of which is the homoclinic…
We use entropy theory as a new tool to study sectional hyperbolic flows in any dimension. We show that for $C^1$ flows, every sectional hyperbolic set $\Lambda$ is entropy expansive, and the topological entropy varies continuously with the…
We show that for a $C^1$ generic vector field $X$ away from homoclinic tangencies, a nontrivial Lyapunov stable chain recurrence class is a homoclinic class. The proof uses an argument with $C^2$ vector fields approaching $X$ in $C^1$…
A vector field X is called a star flow if every periodic orbit, of any vector field C1-close to X, is hyperbolic. It is known that the chain recurrence classes of a generic star flow X on a 3 or 4 manifold are either hyperbolic or singular…
In this work, it is presented a characterization of star property for a $C^1$ vector field based on Lyapunov functions. It is also obtained conditions to strong homogeneity for singular sets by using the notion of infinitesimal Lyapunov…
We analyze the dichotomy between {\em sectional-Axiom A flows} (c.f. \cite{memo}) and flows with points accumulated by periodic orbits of different indices. Indeed, this is proved for $C^1$ generic flows whose singularities accumulated by…
The notion of sectional-hyperbolicity is a weakened form of hyperbolicity introduced for vector fields in order to understand the dynamical behavior of certain higher-dimensional systems such as the multidimensional Lorenz attractor. In…
It is known that a generic star vector field $X$ on a $3$ or $4$-dimensional manifold is such that its chain recurrence classes are either hyperbolic, or singular hyperbolic ([MPP] and [GSW]). Palis conjectured that every vector field must…
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…
Topological entropy is not lower semi-continous: small perturbation of the dynamical system can lead to a collapse of entropy. In this note we show that for some special classes of dynamical systems (geodesic flows, Reeb flows, positive…
We prove the following dichotomy for vector fields in a C1-residual subset of volume-preserving flows: for Lebesgue almost every point all Lyapunov exponents equal to zero or its orbit has a dominated splitting. As a consequence if we have…
Recent works related to Palis conjecture of J. Yang, S. Crovisier, M. Sambarino and D. Yang showed that any aperiodic class of a $C^1$-generic diffeomorphism far away from homoclinic bifurcations (or homoclinic tangencies) is partially…
In this work, we investigate diffeomorphisms whose positiveness of topological entropy is destroyed by singular suspensions. We show that this phenomenon is rare in the set of $C^1$-diffeomorphisms. Precisely, we prove that for an open and…
In this article we study geodesic flows on closed Riemannian manifolds without conjugate points and divergence property of geodesic rays. If the fundamental group is Gromov hyperbolic and residually finite we prove, under appropriate…
A classical construction due to Newhouse creates horseshoes from hyperbolic periodic orbits with large period and weak domination through local $C^1$-perturbations. Our main theorem shows that, when one works in the $C^1$ topology, the…
We establish that $C^\infty$ three-dimensional flows with positive topological entropy admit only finitely many ergodic measures of maximal entropy, even when singularities (zero-velocity points) are present. Furthermore, every ergodic…
We prove that every $C^1$ generic three-dimensional flow has either infinitely many sinks, or, infinitely many hyperbolic or singular-hyperbolic attractors whose basins form a full Lebesgue measure set. We also prove in the orientable case…
We prove that in a $C^1$-open and $C^k$-dense set of some classes of $C^k$ Anosov flows all Lyapunov exponents have multiplicity 1 with respect to appropriate measures. The classes are geodesic flows with equilibrium states of…
We show that for a $C^1$ residual subset of diffeomorphisms far away from homoclinic tangency, the stable manifolds of periodic points cover a dense subset of the ambient manifold. This gives a partial proof to a conjecture of C. Bonatti.
