AbstractSearching for a relation between the genus of a closed oriented surface and the possible geometries for homological rotation sets of its maps, we prove that this invariant for Smale diffeomorphisms is given by a union of at most convex sets, all of them containing zero. The classical theory of hyperbolic dynamics allows then to extend this bound to a ‐open and dense set of homeomorphisms, suggesting this to be a general fact. Examples showing the sharpness for this asymptotic order are provided.
