Abstract

We construct an example of a C∞ diffeomorphism on a 7-manifold which has an invariant set with an uncountable number of pseudocircle components. Furthermore, any diffeomorphism which is sufficiently close (in the C1 metric) to the constructed map has a similar invariant set. We also discuss the topological nature of the invariant set.
