This extends known results of expansiveness for singular-hyperbolic attractors in $3$-flows even in this low dimensional setting. We deduce some converse results taking advantage of recent progress in the study of star vector fields: a robustly expansive non-singular vector field is uniformly hyperbolic; and a robustly transitive attractor is sectional-hyperbolic if, and only if, it is robustly expansive. In a low dimensional setting, we show that an attracting set of a $3$-flow is singular-hyperbolic if, and only if, it is robustly chaotic (robustly sensitive to initial conditions).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-26T16:10:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37C10", "37D30", "37D50" ], "keywords": [ "sectional hyperbolic attracting sets", "robust expansiveness", "expansive non-singular vector field", "low dimensional setting", "star vector fields" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 35, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
