On existence of expanding attractors with different dimensions

Abstract

We prove that $n$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$, $n\geq 2$, admits structurally stable diffeomorphisms $\mathbb{S}^n\to\mathbb{S}^n$ with non-orientable expanding attractors of any topological dimension $d\in\{1,\ldots,[\frac{n}{2}]\}$ where $[x]$ is an integer part of $x$. One proves that $n$-torus $\mathbb{T}^n$, $n\geq 2$, admits structurally stable diffeomorphisms $\mathbb{T}^n\to\mathbb{T}^n$ with orientable expanding attractors of any topological dimension $1\leq q\leq n-1$. We also prove that given any closed $n$-manifold $M^n$, $n\geq 2$, and any $d\in\{1,\ldots,[\frac{n}{2}]\}$, there is an axiom A diffeomorphism $f: M^n\to M^n$ with a $d$-dimensional non-orientable expanding attractor. Similar statements hold for axiom A flows.
