Robustly shadowable chain transtive sets and hyperbolicity

Abstract

We say that a compact invariant set $Λ$ of a $C^1$-vector field $X$ on a compact boundaryless Riemannian manifold $M$ is robustly shadowable if it is locally maximal with respect to a neighborhood $U$ of $Λ$, and there exists a $C^1$-neigborhood $\mathcal{U}$ of $X$ such that for any $Y \in \mathcal{U}$, the continuation $Λ_Y$ of $Λ$ for $Y$ and $U$ is shadowable for $Y_t$. In this paper, we prove that any chain transitive set of a $C^1$-vector field on $M$ is hyperbolic if and only if it is robustly shadowable.
