- A note on reversibility and Pell equationsPublication . Bessa, Mário; Carvalho, Maria; Rodrigues, Alexandre A. P.This note concerns hyperbolic toral automorphisms which are reversible with respect to a linear area-preserving involution. Due to the low dimension, we will be able to associate the reversibility with a generalized Pell equation from whose set of solutions we will infer further information. Additionally, we will show that reversibility is a rare feature and will characterize the generic setting.
- Generic area-preserving reversible diffeomorphismsPublication . Bessa, Mário; Carvalho, Maria; Rodrigues, Alexandre A. P.Let M be a surface and R : M → M an area-preserving C∞ diffeomorphism which is an involution and whose set of fixed points is a submanifold with dimension one. We will prove that C1 -generically either an area-preserving R-reversible diffeomorphism, is Anosov, or, for μ-almost every x ∈ M, the Lyapunov exponents at x vanish or else the orbit of x belongs to a compact hyperbolic set with an empty interior. We will also describe a nonempty C1- open subset of area-preserving R-reversible diffeomorphisms where for C1-generically each map is either Anosov or its Lyapunov exponents vanish from almost everywhere.
