Abstract:

In 1969, Hirsch posed the following problem: given a diffeomorphism $f:N\to N$ and a compact invariant hyperbolic set $\Lambda$ of $f$, describe the topology of $\Lambda$ and the dynamics of $f$ restricted to $\Lambda$. We solve the problem where $\Lambda =M^3$ is a closed $3$-manifold: if $M^3$ is orientable, then it is a connected sum of tori and handles; otherwise it is a connected sum of tori and handles quotiented by involutions.

The dynamics of the diffeomorphisms restricted to $M^3$, called quasi-Anosov diffeomorphisms, is also classified: it is the connected sum of DA-diffeomorphisms, quotiented by commuting involutions.
