Ergodic solenoids


Vicente Munoz

(CSIC)

Abstract: Solenoids are laminated spaces with a transversal structure. We define generalized currents associated with immersions of solenoids with a transversal measure. We prove a realization theorem for any real homology class of a compact manifold using solenoids with a transversal structure satisfying an ergodicity property. These solenoids provide the right framework for unifying well-known theories due to Schwartzman and Ruelle-Sullivan. Joint work with Ricardo Pérez-Marco.
