Abstract

This paper is a contribution to the classification problem of expansive homeomorphisms. Let M be a compact connected oriented three dimensional topological manifold without boundary and f: M → M an expansive homeomorphism.We show that if the topologically hyperbolic period points of f are dense in M then M = , and f is conjugate to an Anosov diffeomorphism. This follows from our basic result: for such a homeomorphism, all stable and unstable sets are (tamely embedded) topological manifolds.
