Abstract

We suggest a method to construct new examples of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. We begin with a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $f : M \to M$ which leaves invariant a submanifold $N \subset M$ . We assume that $N$ is an Anosov submanifold for $f$ , that is, the restriction $f |_{N}$ is an Anosov diffeomorphism and the center distribution is transverse to $T N \subset T M$ . By replacing each point in $N$ with the projective space (real or complex) of lines normal to $N$ , we obtain the blow-up $\hat{M}$ . Replacing $M$ with $\hat{M}$ amounts to a surgery on the neighborhood of $N$ which alters the topology of the manifold. The diffeomorphism $f$ induces a canonical diffeomorphism $\hat{f} : \hat{M} \to \hat{M}$ . We prove that under certain assumptions on the local dynamics of $f$ at $N$ the diffeomorphism $\hat{f}$ is also partially hyperbolic. We also present some modifications, such as the connected sum construction, which allows to “paste together” two partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms to obtain a new one. Finally, we present several examples to which our results apply.
