Abstract

:
In this paper, it is proved that every diffeomorphism possessing the filtrated pseudo-orbit shadowing property admits an approximately shadowable Lebesgue measure. Furthermore, the C 1 -interior of the set of diffeomorphisms possessing the filtrated pseudo-orbit shadowing property is characterized as the set of diffeomorphisms satisfying both Axiom A and the no-cycle condition. As a corollary, it is proved that there exists a C 1 -open set of diffeomorphisms, any element of which does not have the shadowing property but admits an approximately shadowable Lebesgue measure.

1. Introduction

The notion of pseudo-orbits appears often in the several branches of the modern theory of dynamical systems; especially, the pseudo-orbit shadowing property usually plays an important role in the investigation of stability theory and ergodic theory. Let ( X , d ) be a compact metric space, and let f : X X be a homeomorphism. For δ > 0 , a sequence of points { x i } i = a b X ( a < b ) is called a δ-pseudo-orbit of f if d ( f ( x i ) , x i + 1 ) < δ for all a i b 1 .
Denote by f | A the restriction of f to a set A X . Let Λ X be a closed set (not necessarily f-invariant). We say that f | Λ has the shadowing property if for every ϵ > 0 there is δ > 0 such that for any n N and δ -pseudo-orbit { x i } i = 0 n 1 Λ of f there is y X ϵ -shadowing the pseudo-orbit—that is, d ( f i ( y ) , x i ) < ϵ for all 0 i n 1 . Note that only δ -pseudo-orbits of f “contained in Λ ” can be ϵ -shadowed, but the shadowing point y X is “not necessarily” contained in Λ . We say that f has the shadowing property if X = Λ in the above definition. Since X is compact, it is not difficult to show that if f | Λ has the shadowing property, then every pseudo-orbit { x i } i = Λ can be shadowed by some true orbit of f.
In [1], we introduced the notion of shadowable measures as a generalization of the shadowing property from the measure theoretical view point, and investigated the dynamics of diffeomorphisms satisfying the notion (in fact, the dynamics of the C 1 -interior of the set of diffeomorphisms possessing the shadowable measures is characterized as uniform hyperbolicity—see [1], Theorems 1 and 2). Every dynamical system possessing the shadowing property admits shadowable measures, but the converse is not generally true. In fact, an example of a diffeomorphism g is constructed on the 2-torus T 2 such that g does not have the shadowing property but admits a shadowable Lebesgue measure (see [1], Example 3).
In this paper, generalizing the dynamics and shadowable Lebesgue measure of this example on T 2 , we introduce the notion of the filtrated pseudo-orbit shadowing property and that of approximately shadowable measures, and we prove that every diffeomorphism having the property admits an approximately shadowable Lebesgue measure. Furthermore, the C 1 -interior of the set of diffeomorphisms possessing the filtrated pseudo-orbit shadowing property is characterized as the set of diffeomorphisms satisfying both Axiom A and the no-cycle condition. Finally, by making use of a quasi-Anosov diffeomorphism, we construct a C 1 -open set of diffeomorphisms, any element of which does not have the shadowing property but admits an approximately shadowable Lebesgue measure.

2. Definitions and Statement of the Results

Recall that ( X , d ) is a compact metric space and f : X X is a homeomorphism of X. For given points x , y X and δ > 0 , we write x δ y if there is a δ -pseudo-orbit { x i } i = 0 n of f such that x 0 = x and x n = y for some n = n δ N . Write x δ y if x δ y and y δ x . Finally, we write x y if x δ y for any δ > 0 . The chain recurrent set of f, denoted by R ( f ) , is the set of points x X such that x x . The chain recurrent set is one of the main subjects to consider in the shadowing theory of dynamical systems. Clearly, Ω ( f ) R ( f ) by definition, where Ω ( f ) is the non-wandering set of f.
Let X n = X × × X (the n-times of direct product) be the sequences of points of X with length n N , and denote by M ( X ) the space of Borel probability measures of X. For any μ M ( X ) (not necessarily f-invariant), let μ n = μ × × μ (n-times) be the direct product measure of X n . For any δ > 0 , denote by PO ( δ , n ) the space of δ -pseudo-orbits { x i } i = 0 n 1 X n of f, and for ϵ > 0 , denote by SPO ( δ , ϵ , n ) ( PO ( δ , n ) ) the set of δ -pseudo-orbits ϵ -shadowed by some point.
We say that μ M ( X ) is a shadowable measure of f (or simply, f is μ -shadowable) if for any ϵ > 0 there exists δ > 0 such that
μ n ( SPO ( δ , ϵ , n ) ) = μ n ( PO ( δ , n ) )
for any n N (if A is a subset of X, then we define the shadowable measure for f | A by the same manner). Observe that if f has the shadowing property, then f is μ -shadowable for any μ M ( X ) . Denote by supp ( μ ) the support of μ M ( X ) . Then, since X is compact, it is known that if f is μ -shadowable, then f | supp ( μ ) has the shadowing property (see [1], Lemma 1).
In this paper, we generalize the notion of shadowable measures to describe the dynamics of the system such as ([1], Example 3) from the measure theoretical view point. Let μ M ( X ) , and let Y X be a Borel set. For any Borel set A X , we put
μ ˜ ( A ) = μ ˜ Y ( A ) = μ ( A Y ) μ ( Y ) M ( X ) .
We say that μ is approximately shadowable if for any ϵ > 0 there exists a Borel set Y of X with μ ( Y ) > 1 ϵ and f ( Y ) Y such that μ ˜ is a shadowable measure
Hereafter, let M be a closed C manifold, and let d be a distance on M induced from a Riemannian metric · on the tangent bundle T M . Denote by Diff ( M ) the space of diffeomorphisms of M endowed with the C 1 -topology as usual. We say that a sequence
= M 0 M 1 M K = M
of smooth compact submanifolds M k with boundary such that dim M k = dim M for 1 k K is a filtration adapted to f Diff ( M ) if the following conditions ( a ) and ( b ) are met:
(a) 
The chain recurrent set R ( f ) of f is composed of mutually disjoint closed f-invariant sets { Λ k ( f ) } k = 1 K ( K 1 ) of f—that is,
R ( f ) = Λ 1 ( f ) Λ K ( f ) ;
(b) 
For any 1 k K ,
(b.1) 
f ( M k ) int M k ;
(b.2) 
Λ k ( f ) int ( M k M k 1 ) ;
(b.3) 
Λ k ( f ) = m Z f m ( M k M k 1 ) .
Here int A denotes the interior of a set A M .
We say that f has the filtrated pseudo-orbit shadowing property if there exists a filtration = M 0 M 1 M K = M ( K 1 ) adapted to f such that for all ϵ > 0 there exists δ > 0 such that for any filtrated δ -pseudo-orbit { x i } i = 0 n int ( M k M k 1 ) of f ( n N ) there exists x M satisfying d ( f i ( x ) , x i ) < ϵ for all 0 i n .
Denote by FS the set of f Diff ( M ) having the filtrated pseudo-orbit shadowing property. The first result of this paper is the following.
Theorem 1.
Every f FS admits an approximately shadowable Lebesgue measure m M ( M ) .
Remark 1.
Suppose m M ( M ) is the normalized Lebesgue measure on M. Let us emphasize at this point that this m is an approximately shadowable Lebesgue measure for f FS . In fact, we will see that for any ϵ > 0 there exists a set Y M ( m ( Y ) > 1 ϵ ) such that m ˜ M ( M ) is shadowable and supp ( m ˜ ) = Y .
Denote by int FS the C 1 -interior of the set FS in Diff ( M ) ; that is, f int FS if and only if there exists a C 1 -neighborhood U ( f ) of f in Diff ( M ) such that any g U ( f ) meets all the properties ( a ) , ( b ) with respect to g and has the filtrated pseudo-orbit shadowing property. More precisely, for any g U ( f ) ,
-
R ( g ) is composed of mutually disjoint closed g-invariant sets { Λ k ( g ) } k = 1 K g ( K g 1 ) —that is,
R ( g ) = Λ 1 ( g ) Λ K g ( g )
and properties ( b . 1 ) ( b . 3 ) are met, and
-
Any filtrated pseudo-orbit { x i } i = 0 n int ( M k g M k 1 g ) of g ( n N ) is g-shadowed—that is, g | int ( M k g M k 1 g ) has the shadowing property for 1 k K g .
Let Λ M be a closed f-invariant set. The set Λ is hyperbolic if the tangent bundle T Λ M has a D f -invariant splitting E s E u with constants C > 0 and 0 < λ < 1 such that
D f n | E x s C λ n a n d D f n | E x u C λ n
for all x Λ and n 0 . Suppose that Λ is hyperbolic. Then it is well-known that f | Λ has the shadowing property (see [2,3]).
The stable manifold of a point x Λ is the set
W s ( x ) = { y M : d ( f n ( x ) , f n ( y ) ) 0 as n } .
The unstable manifold, W u ( x ) , of x Λ is also defined analogously for n . It is also well-known that W s ( x ) and W u ( x ) are both immersed manifolds (see [3], among others).
We say that f is Anosov when the whole space M is hyperbolic. At this moment, let us remark that any μ M ( M ) is shadowable if f is Anosov, and thus, every Anosov diffeomorphism admits a shadowable Lebesgue measure m such that
supp ( m ) = M .
Hereafter, let P ( f ) be the set of periodic points of f, and recall that Ω ( f ) is the set of non-wandering points of it. We say that f satisfy Axiom A if Ω ( f ) is hyperbolic and Ω ( f ) = P ( f ) ¯ . Let f satisfies Axiom A. Then the non-wandering set has the so-called spectral decomposition—that is,
Ω ( f ) = Λ 1 ( f ) Λ L ( f )
composed of basic sets { Λ i ( f ) } i = 1 L , and satisfies
M = i = 1 L W σ ( Λ i ( f ) ) ,
where
W σ ( Λ i ( f ) ) = x Λ i ( f ) W σ ( x ) ( σ = s , u )
for 1 i L .
We say that f has a cycle if there is a subsequence { Λ i j ( f ) } j = 1 l ( 2 l L + 1 ) of the spectral decomposition such that
Λ i 1 ( f ) = Λ i l ( f ) and W u ( Λ i j ( f ) ) W s ( Λ i j + 1 ( f ) ) ( 1 j l 1 ) .
Note that if f satisfies the no-cycle condition, then R ( f ) = Ω ( f ) (see [4]).
The next result is the following.
Theorem 2.
Let f Diff ( M ) . Then f int FS if and only if f satisfies both Axiom A and the no-cycle condition.
We say that f is quasi-Anosov if for any v T M { 0 } , { D f n ( v ) : n Z } is unbounded. In [5], quasi-Anosov diffeomorphisms are characterized as diffeomorphisms satisfying both Axiom A and the no-cycle condition such that for any x M ,
T x W s ( x ) T x W u ( x ) = { 0 } .
Every Anosov diffeomorphism is quasi-Anosov, but an example of quasi-Anosov, non-Anosov diffeomorphism is constructed by [6] (for more information, see [7]). In this paper, by making use of a quasi-Anosov diffeomorphism, we construct a C 1 -open set of Diff ( M ) , any element of which does not have the shadowing property but admits an approximately shadowable Lebesgue measure (see Corollary 1).
For quasi-Anosov diffeomorphisms, the relationship to the shadowing property is considered in [8], and the following result is obtained therein.
Theorem 3.
Let f Diff ( M ) . Then f is quasi-Anosov possessing the shadowing property if and only if f is Anosov.
Since every quasi-Anosov diffeomorphism is in int FS by Theorem 2, the next result follows from Theorems 1 and 3.
Corollary 1.
Let f Diff ( M ) be a quasi-Anosov diffeomorphism that is not Anosov. Then there is a C 1 -open set (a neighborhood of f), any g of which does not have the shadowing property but admits an approximately shadowable Lebesgue measure m.
Remark 2.
Since the example g on T 2 constructed in ([1], Example 3) is in int FS , every h C 1 -nearby g admits an approximately shadowable Lebesgue measure. However, it is easy to see that, for any C 1 -neighborhood V ( g ) of g, there is a h V ( g ) possessing the shadowing property.
We close this section by pointing out an example which does not admit an approximately shadowable Lebesgue measure.
Example 1.
Let S 1 = { e 2 π i θ : θ R } C . For α R Q , let ρ α : S 1 S 1 be an irrational rotation map defined by ρ α ( e 2 π i θ ) = e 2 π i ( θ + α ) . Then the map ρ α does not admit an approximately shadowable Lebesgue measure since ρ α does not satisfy the shadowing property (see [1], Example 2) and we have Y ¯ = S 1 for Y S 1 with f ( Y ) Y .

3. Proofs of the Results

In this section, we give the proofs of Theorems 1 and 2 and Corollary 1.
Proof of Theorem 1. 
Suppose that f FS , and let m M ( M ) be the normalized Lebesgue measure on M. Let = M 0 M 1 M K = M be a filtration adapted to f as in the definition of the filtrated pseudo-orbit shadowing property, and recall the conditions ( a ) and ( b ) that f meets. We define a stable set for Λ k ( f ) ( 1 k K ) by
W s ( Λ k ( f ) ) = { y M : d ( f n ( y ) , Λ k ( f ) ) 0 as n } .
Clearly, we have f ( W s ( Λ k ( f ) ) ) = W s ( Λ k ( f ) ) and W s ( Λ k ( f ) ) W s ( Λ l ( f ) ) = for k l .
By ( b . 1 ) ( b . 3 ) we have
(1)
W s ( Λ k ( f ) ) M k 1 = ;
(2)
n = 0 f n ( M k M k 1 ) = W s ( Λ k ( f ) ) M k ;
(3)
k = 1 K W s ( Λ k ( f ) ) = M .
If we set
W k n = W s ( Λ k ( f ) ) f n ( M k )
for 1 k K and n 0 , then { W k n } n = 0 is an increasing sequence of closed sets satisfying that for 1 k K
(4)
f ( W k n ) = W k n 1 W k n , f n ( W k n ) = W k 0 M k M k 1 ;
(5)
W k n W l n = ( k l ) ;
(6)
Λ k ( f ) W k 0 W k 1 W s ( Λ k ( f ) ) = n = 0 W k n .
Then, by (3) and (6), for ϵ > 0 there exists N N such that
m k = 1 K W k N > 1 ϵ .
In what follows, we put
Y = k = 1 K W k N
for convenience (note that f ( Y ) Y by (4)).
Now, let us take δ 1 > 0 such that if x W k N and y W l N for k l , then d ( x , y ) > δ 1 (see (5) above). Thus we have the following
Claim. There exists 0 < δ 2 < δ 1 such that for any δ -pseudo-orbit { x i } i = 0 n Y of f with 0 < δ < δ 2 and n N + 1 , there is 1 k K such that x i int ( M k M k 1 ) for all N + 1 i n .
Indeed, let { x i } i = 0 n Y be a given δ -pseudo-orbit of f with 0 < δ < δ 1 and n N + 1 . Then it is easy to see that by the choice of δ 1 > 0 , there is 1 k K such that { x i } i = 0 n W k N . Since
f N + 1 ( W k N ) f ( M k ) int M k ,
by the uniform continuity of f, we can choose 0 < δ 2 < δ 1 such that if 0 < δ < δ 2 , then x i int M k for N + 1 i n . Moreover, by (4), we have x i int ( M k M k 1 ) for N + 1 i n , and thus the claim is proved.
Finally, let us show that every pseudo-orbit { x i } i = 0 n Y is shadowed by a true orbit of f. For ϵ > 0 , by the uniform continuity of f, we can choose 0 < δ < δ 2 such that every δ -pseudo-orbit of f with length less than N + 1 can be ϵ -shadowed by a true orbit of f. Thus, it is not difficult to show that any δ -pseudo-orbit { x i } i = 0 n Y of f can be shadowed by a true orbit of f reducing δ if necessary. Therefore, for the set Y, if we define m ˜ M ( M ) as
m ˜ ( A ) = m ( A Y ) m ( Y )
for any Borel set A M , then m ˜ is shadowable, m ( Y ) > 1 ϵ and f ( Y ) Y , and thus Theorem 1 is proved. □
We need a lemma to prove Theorem 2. Remark that if f possesses the filtrated pseudo-orbit shadowing property, then f | R ( f ) has the shadowing property by definition. The following lemma proved in ([9], Proposition 2.3) will be used in the proof of the “only if” part of Theorem 2.
Lemma 1.
If f | R ( f ) has the shadowing property, then the shadowing point can be taken from Ω ( f ) for any pseudo-orbit in Ω ( f ) .
Proof of Theorem 2. 
To prove the if part of the theorem, suppose that f satisfies both Axiom A and the no-cycle condition. Then
R ( f ) = Ω ( f ) = Λ 1 ( f ) Λ K ( f )
for some K 1 , and there is a filtration = M 0 M 1 M K = M with respect to f. Here Λ k ( f ) is a hyperbolic basic set for 1 k K (see [3,4]). To prove the filtrated pseudo-orbit shadowing property for f, we note that for any 1 k K there is a neighborhood U k of Λ k ( f ) with the property that for all ϵ > 0 there exists δ > 0 such that for any δ -pseudo-orbit { x i } i = 0 n U k ( n N ) there exists x M satisfying d ( f i ( x ) , x i ) < ϵ for all 0 i n since Λ k ( f ) is hyperbolic (see [2,3]). By ( b . 3 ) , there is m k > 0 such that
m = m k m k f m ( M k M k 1 ) U k .
Thus, we can see that there is δ 3 > 0 such that for any δ -pseudo-orbits { x i } i = 0 n int ( M k M k 1 ) ( 0 < δ < δ 3 , n N ) of f, if n 2 m k + 1 , then { x i } i = 0 n U k . On the other hand, by the uniform continuity of f, every pseudo-orbit of f with length less than 2 m k + 1 can be shadowed by a true orbit of f. Therefore, it is not difficult to show that any δ -pseudo-orbit { x i } i = 0 n int ( M k M k 1 ) ( 1 k K ) of f can be shadowed by a true orbit of f reducing δ if necessary.
Finally, it can be checked that since f is R -stable (and thus, is Ω -stable), any g C 1 -nearby f also meets all of the conditions ( a ) , ( b ) with respect to = M 0 M 1 M K = M (see [3], pp. 435–444) and has the filtrated pseudo-orbit shadowing property, and thus, the if part is proved.
To prove the only if part, let us denote by Ω S the set of diffeomorphisms such that
-
f : Ω ( f ) Ω ( f ) has the shadowing property; and
-
The shadowing point can be taken from Ω ( f ) .
It was shown in ([10], Proposition 1) that any f in the C 1 -interior of Ω S satisfies both Axiom A and the no-cycle condition. Thus, to get the conclusion, it is enough to show that if f FS , then f is in Ω S . Suppose that f FS . Then f | R ( f ) has the shadowing property, and thus, by Lemma 1, f is in Ω S since the shadowing point can be taken from Ω ( f ) . Thus, Theorem 2 is proved. □
Proof of Corollary 1. 
Let f be a quasi-Anosov diffeomorphism, so that f satisfies both Axiom A and the no-cycle condition. Since f int FS by Theorem 2, every g C 1 -nearby f admits an approximately shadowable Lebesgue measure by Theorem 1.
It is proved that every g C 1 -nearby f is also quasi-Anosov by ([5], Lemma 1.6), and that f is Anosov if and only if W s ( p ) is the same dimension for all p P ( f ) by ([5], Corollary 1). Suppose further that f is not Anosov. Then, since there are hyperbolic periodic points p , q P ( f ) with different indices, that is, dim W s ( p ) dim W s ( q ) , every g C 1 -nearby f also has periodic points with different indices. Thus, g is quasi-Anosov but not Anosov by ([5], Corollary 1), so that g does not have the shadowing property by Theorem 3. □
