Résumé

This paper introduces class $G$ containing Cartesian products of orientation-changing rough transformations of the circle and studies their dynamics. As it is known from the paper of A.G. Maier non-wandering set of orientation-changing diffeomorphism of the circle consists of $2q$ periodic points, where $q$ is some natural number. So Cartesian products of two such diffeomorphisms has $4q_1q_2$ periodic points where $q_1$ corresponds to the first transformation and $q_2$ corresponds to the second one. The authors describe all possible types of the set of periodic points, which contains $2q_1q_2$ saddle points, $q_1q_2$ sinks, and $q_1q_2$ sources; $4$ points from mentioned $4q_1q_2$ periodic ones are fixed, and the remaining $4q_1q_2-4$ points have period $2$. In the theory of smooth dynamical systems, a very useful result is that, given a diffeomorphism $f$ of a manifold, one can construct a flow on a manifold with dimension one greater; this flow is called the suspension over $f$. The authors introduce the concept of suspension over diffeomorphisms of class $G$, describe all possible types of suspension orbits and the number of these orbits. Besides that, the authors prove a theorem on the topology of the manifold on which the suspension is given. Namely, the carrier manifold of the flows under consideration is homeomorphic to the closed 3-manifold $\mathbb T^2 \times [0,1]/\varphi$, where $\varphi :\mathbb T^ 2 \to \mathbb T^2$. The main result of the paper says that suspensions over diffeomorphisms of the class $G$ are topologically equivalent if and only if corresponding diffeomorphisms are topologically conjugate. The idea of the proof is to show that the topological equivalence of the suspensions $\phi^t$ and $\phi'^t$ implies the topological conjugacy of $\phi$ and $\phi'$.
