Cantor exchange systems and renormalization

AbstractWe prove a one-to-one correspondence between (i) C1+ conjugacy classes of C1+H Cantor exchange systems that are C1+H fixed points of renormalization and (ii) C1+ conjugacy classes of C1+H diffeomorphisms f with a codimension 1 hyperbolic attractor Λ that admit an invariant measure absolutely continuous with respect to the Hausdorff measure on Λ. However, we prove that there is no C1+α Cantor exchange system, with bounded geometry, that is a C1+α fixed point of renormalization with regularity α greater than the Hausdorff dimension of its invariant Cantor set
