Robust transitivity and domination for endomorphisms displaying critical points

We show that robustly transitive endomorphisms of a closed manifolds must have a non-trivial dominated splitting or be a local diffeomorphism. This allows to get some topological obstructions for the existence of robustly transitive endomorphisms. To obtain the result we must understand the structure of the kernel of the differential and the recurrence to the critical set of the endomorphism after perturbation.

Topological obstructions for robustly transitive endomorphisms on surfaces

We address the problem of necessary conditions and topological obstructions for the existence of robustly transitive maps on surfaces. Concretely, we show that partial hyperbolicity is a necessary condition in order to have $C^1$ robustly transitive endomorphisms with critical points on surfaces, and the only surfaces that admits robustly transitive maps are either the torus or the klein bottle. Moreover, we show that every robustly transitive endomorphism is homotopic to a linear map having at least one eigenvalue with modulus larger than one.
