Our main result is that there exists a smooth 1-parameter family of plugs ${\\mathbb K}_{\\epsilon}$ for $\\epsilon \\in (-a,a)$ and $a<1$, such that: (1) The plug ${\\mathbb K}_0 = {\\mathbb K}$ is a generic Kuperberg plug; (2) For $\\epsilon <0$, the flow in the plug ${\\mathbb K}_{\\epsilon}$ has two periodic orbits that bound an invariant cylinder, all other orbits of the flow are wandering, and the flow has topological entropy zero; (3) For $\\epsilon > 0$, the flow in the plug ${\\mathbb K}_{\\epsilon}$ has positive topological entropy, and an abundance of periodic orbits.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-03-25T11:02:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37C10", "37C70", "37B25", "37B40" ], "keywords": [ "aperiodicity", "periodic orbits", "generic kuperberg plug", "aperiodic kuperberg plug", "main result" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
