A Garden of Eden theorem for Anosov diffeomorphisms on tori (1506.06945v8)

Abstract: Let $f$ be an Anosov diffeomorphism of the $n$-dimensional torus ${\mathbb{T}}^n$ and $\tau$ a continuous self-mapping of ${\mathbb{T}}^n$ commuting with $f$. We prove that $\tau$ is surjective if and only if the restriction of $\tau$ to each homoclinicity class of $f$ is injective.
