In contrast to the case of dynamics restricted to a hyperbolic basic piece, structurally stable diffeomorphisms are in general not expansive and the conjugacies between $C^1$-close structurally stable diffeomorphisms may be non-unique, even if there are assumed $C^0$-close to the identity. Here we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a structurally stable diffeomorphism to admit a dense subset of points with expansiveness and sensitivity to initial conditions. Morever, we prove that the set of conjugacies between elements in the same conjugacy class is homeomorphic to the $C^0$-centralizer of the dynamics. Finally, we use this fact to deduce that any two $C^1$-close structurally stable diffeomorphismsare conjugated by a unique conjugacy $C^0$-close to the identity if and only if these are Anosov.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-05-23T00:00:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "initial conditions", "sensitivity", "uniqueness", "strong transversality condition", "hyperbolic basic piece" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
