Dynamically ordered energy function for Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms on 3-manifolds

This note deals with arbitrary Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms in dimension 3 and extends ideas from \cite{GrLaPo}, \cite{GrLaPo1}, where gradient-like case was considered. We introduce a kind of Morse-Lyapunov function, called dynamically ordered, which fits well dynamics of diffeomorphism. The paper is devoted to finding conditions to the existence of such an energy function, that is, a function whose set of critical points coincides with the non-wandering set of the considered diffeomorphism. We show that the necessary and sufficient conditions to the existence of a dynamically ordered energy function reduces to the type of embedding of one-dimensional attractors and repellers of a given Morse-Smale diffeomorphism on a closed 3-manifold.

Self-indexing energy function for Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms on 3-manifolds

The paper is devoted to finding conditions to the existence of a self-indexing energy function for Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms on a 3-manifold. These conditions involve how the stable and unstable manifolds of saddle points are embedded in the ambient manifold. We also show that the existence of a self-indexing energy function is equivalent to the existence of a Heegaard splitting of a special type with respect to the considered diffeomorphism.

Quasi-energy function for diffeomorphisms with wild separatrices

According to Pixton, there are Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms of the 3-sphere which have no energy function, that is a Lyapunov function whose critical points are all periodic points of the diffeomorphism. We introduce the concept of quasi-energy function for a Morse-Smale diffeomorphism as a Lyapunov function with the least number of critical points and construct a quasi-energy function for any diffeomorphism from some class of Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms on the 3-sphere.

Essential curves in handlebodies and topological contractions

If $X$ is a compact set, a {\it topological contraction} is a self-embedding $f$ such that the intersection of the successive images $f^k(X)$, $k>0$, consists of one point. In dimension 3, we prove that there are smooth topological contractions of the handlebodies of genus $\geq 2$ whose image is essential. Our proof is based on an easy criterion for a simple curve to be essential in a handlebody.

On two-dimensional surface attractors and repellers on 3-manifolds

We show that if $f: M^3\to M^3$ is an $A$-diffeomorphism with a surface two-dimensional attractor or repeller $\mathcal B$ and $ M^2_ \mathcal B$ is a supporting surface for $ \mathcal B$, then $\mathcal B = M^2_{\mathcal B}$ and there is $k\geq 1$ such that: 1) $M^2_{\mathcal B}$ is a union $M^2_1\cup...\cup M^2_k$ of disjoint tame surfaces such that every $M^2_i$ is homeomorphic to the 2-torus $T^2$. 2) the restriction of $f^k$ to $M^2_i$ $(i\in\{1,...,k\})$ is conjugate to Anosov automorphism of $T^2$.
