On Isolated Periodic Points of Diffeomorphisms with Expanding Attractors of Codimension 1

Abstract

In this paper we consider an \(\Omega\)-stable 3-diffeomorphism whose chain-recurrent set consists of isolated periodic points and hyperbolic 2-dimensional nontrivial attractors. Nontrivial attractors in this case can only be expanding, orientable or not. The most known example from the class under consideration is the DA-diffeomorphism obtained from the algebraic Anosov diffeomorphism, given on a 3-torus, by Smale’s surgery. Each such attractor has bunches of degree 1 and 2. We estimate the minimum number of isolated periodic points using information about the structure of attractors. Also, we investigate the topological structure of ambient manifolds for diffeomorphisms with k bunches and k isolated periodic points.
