Dynamics of the Universal Area-Preserving Map Associated with Period Doubling: Hyperbolic Sets
It is known that the famous Feigenbaum-Coullet-Tresser period doubling
universality has a counterpart for area-preserving maps of {\fR}^2. A
renormalization approach has been used in \cite{EKW1} and \cite{EKW2} in a
computer-assisted proof of existence of a "universal" area-preserving map
-- a map with orbits of all binary periods 2^k, k \in \fN. In this paper, we
consider maps in some neighbourhood of and study their dynamics.
We first demonstrate that the map admits a "bi-infinite heteroclinic
tangle": a sequence of periodic points , k \in \fZ, |z_k|
\converge{{k \to \infty}} 0, \quad |z_k| \converge{{k \to -\infty}} \infty,
whose stable and unstable manifolds intersect transversally; and, for any N
\in \fN, a compact invariant set on which is homeomorphic to a
topological Markov chain on the space of all two-sided sequences composed of
symbols. A corollary of these results is the existence of {\it unbounded}
and {\it oscillating} orbits.
We also show that the third iterate for all maps close to admits a
horseshoe. We use distortion tools to provide rigorous bounds on the Hausdorff
dimension of the associated locally maximal invariant hyperbolic set: 0.7673
\ge {\rm dim}_H(\cC_F) \ge \varepsilon \approx 0.00044 e^{-1797}.$
