Abstract

Unlike in the invertible setting, Anosov endomorphisms may have infinitely many unstable directions. Here we prove, under the transitivity assumption, that an Anosov endomorphism of a closed manifold $M$ is either special (that is, every $x \in M$ has only one unstable direction), or for a typical point in $M$ there are infinitely many unstable directions. Another result is the semi-rigidity of the unstable Lyapunov exponent of a $C^{1+\alpha }$ codimension one Anosov endomorphism that is $C^1$-close to a linear endomorphism of $\mathbb {T}^n$ for $(n \geq 2).$
