On Two-Dimensional Expanding Attractors of A-Flows

Abstract

We prove that given any closed $n$-manifold $M^n$, $n\geq 4$, there is an A-flow $f^t$ on $M^n$ such that the non-wandering set $NW(f^t)$ consists of 2-dimensional expanding attractor (the both, orientable and non-orientable) and trivial basic sets. For 3-manifolds, we prove that given any closed 3-manifold $M^3$, there is an A-flow $f^t$ on $M^3$ such that the non-wandering set $NW(f^t)$ consists of a non-orientable 2-dimensional expanding attractor and trivial basic sets. Moreover, there is a nonsingular A-flow $f^t$ on a 3-sphere such that the non-wandering set $NW(f^t)$ consists of an orientable 2-dimensional expanding attractor and trivial basic sets (isolated periodic trajectories).
