The constructed\u0000diffeomorphism admits an invariant one-dimensional orientable foliation such that it contains\u0000unstable manifolds of points of the attractor as its leaves. Moreover, this foliation has a\u0000global cross section (2-torus) and defines on it a Poincaré map which is a regular Denjoy\u0000type homeomorphism.
