As a direct consequence, we get a general process for building new partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on closed $3$-manifolds. \\cite{BPP} built a new example of dynamically coherent non-transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism on a closed $3$-manifold, the example in \\cite{BPP} is obtained by composing the time $t$ map, $t>0$ large enough, of a very specific non-transitive Anosov flow by a Dehn twist along a transverse torus. Our result shows that the same construction holds starting with any non-transitive Anosov flow on an oriented $3$-manifold. Moreover, for a given transverse torus, our result explains which type of Dehn twists lead to partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-02-13T16:56:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "transverse foliations", "dehn twist", "transverse torus", "specific non-transitive anosov flow", "non-null homotopic loop" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160204355B" } } }
