Abstract

In dimension two, there are no paths from an Anosov diffeomorphism reaching the boundary of the stability components while attaining a first quadratic tangency associated to a periodic point. Therefore we analyse the possibility to construct an arc ending with a first cubic homoclinic tangency. For several reasons that will be explained in the sequel, we will restrict to area preserving diffeomorphisms.
