On spectral decomposition of Smale-Vietoris axiom A diffeomorphisms

Abstract

We introduce Smale-Vietoris diffeomorphisms that include the classical DE-mappings with Smale solenoids. We describe the correspondence between basic sets of axiom A Smale-Vietoris diffeomorphisms and basic sets of nonsingular axiom A endomorphisms. For Smale-Vietoris diffeomorphisms of 3-manifolds, we prove the uniqueness of nontrivial solenoidal basic set. We construct a bifurcation between different types of solenoidal basic sets which can be considered as a destruction (or birth) of Smale solenoid.
