Saddle-type solenoidal basis sets

Abstract

An example of a diffeomorphism of the 3-sphere with positive topological entropy which has a one-dimensional solenoidal basis set with a two-dimensional unstable and a one-dimensional stable invariant manifold at each point (in particular, the basis set is neither an attractor nor a repeller) is given. On the basis of this diffeomorphism, a nondissipative fast kinematic dynamo with a one-dimensional invariant solenoidal set is constructed.
