Abstract

We show that if f is a C^2 diffeomorphism with positive entropy on an n-dimensional closed manifold (n \geq 2) then f is chaotic in the sense of Li–Yorke, and moreover f is \ast-chaotic on the closure of the stable manifold for some point. The notion of ‘\ast-chaos’ was introduced by Kato in relation to Li–Yorke's chaos in the context of topological dynamics.
